General Information

Description: York House School is an all-girls private school for Junior Kindergarten (4-year-olds) through Grade 12 located in Vancouver.

York House is located in the Shaughnessy neighbourhood in the heart of Vancouver. Founded in 1932 as a Canadian school for girls, it adopted an English motto as opposed to a Latin one: "Not For Ourselves Alone". The motto is the focus of the school's community service program.

York House is first and foremost an academic school, but is also able to offer a wide range of courses from Drama, Textiles (Sewing) to Computer Programming. It offers Advanced Placement courses to Grades 11-12, and Honours courses in math and French for Grades 8-10.

York House has maintained a number one ranking from the Fraser Institute Report Card on Secondary Schools in BC over the past five years and had both top and high rankings prior to that.
