What a way to wrap up our first week back! 😎🦅
The Friday energy was definitely there during Community Block! Sports, games, puzzles, friendship bracelets, karaoke, Just Dance, and a great time all around.
Community Block is our time to switch things up, try something new, get moving, get creative, hang with friends, and connect across the York community.
One week down, a whole year of York ahead, Falcons! 🦅❤️

We’re back! ❤️🦅
Student Council, with a little help from Perry the Peregrine, welcomed our Falcons back to campus today. Our Head of School, Mr. Micciche, then welcomed students to the Chapel to kick off the 2026–27 school year, and just like that, the year is underway!
Welcome back, Falcons! 🎉

☀️ New to York, right at home. 🦅
What a beautiful evening on the sunny hilltop welcoming our new-to-York parents and guardians into the Falcon community!
We loved gathering together, getting to know one another, and celebrating the families who are joining us at York this year—all while enjoying delicious gourmet pizza from Top Shelf Catering and the smooth sounds of local artist Katherine Lavin as the sun went down. 🎶🌅
To our newest Falcon families: we’re so happy you’re here. Welcome to York! ❤️
Here’s to a wonderful year together on the hilltop!

Still deciding which language to study? Why not choose Mandarin?
As the most spoken native language in the world, Mandarin can open doors to new cultures, perspectives, travel opportunities, and future career paths. But don't just take our word for it. Hear directly from York students about their experiences in our Mandarin program and what they've gained from learning the language.
We're proud to offer a program that challenges students, broadens their worldview, and helps them build meaningful connections across cultures.

When Noah was deciding where to attend high school, he explored a variety of options. But after just one visit to York, he knew he had found the right fit.
What stood out most was the community. From the welcoming atmosphere to engaging classes and supportive teachers, Noah quickly found a place where he could thrive. Most importantly, he found a school where he felt comfortable being himself.
Stories like Noah's remind us that choosing a high school is about more than academics. It's about finding a community where students feel known, supported, and empowered to grow.
We're so glad Noah chose York, and we love having him as part of our community.
