York House School

York House School is an independent day school for girls that is consistently ranked by the Fraser Institute as the top school in British Columbia. Established in 1932 by a group of seven women who wanted to provide an exceptional education for their daughters, the school maintains a legacy of empowerment and academic excellence. Located in the heart of Vancouver’s Shaughnessy neighborhood, the campus blends historic architecture with state-of-the-art modern facilities.

The academic program is rigorous, offering an extensive selection of Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Beyond academics, York House is celebrated for its strong fine arts and athletics programs. The school's philosophy focuses on 'Not for Ourselves Alone' (the school motto), fostering a deep sense of social responsibility and community service.

With a small student-to-teacher ratio, York House provides a personalized learning experience that caters to the individual needs of each girl. The school's 'Global Studies' initiatives offer students opportunities to travel and engage in international service-learning, ensuring they graduate as globally-aware citizens. The alumni network is notably influential across various industries in Canada and internationally.
