Our students are empowered to set and achieve high goals through a focus on college preparation that helps them maximize their potential and create a path to grow their talents and interests into successful careers.

• York Catholic high school and middle school serves an average of 550 students across grades 7 through 12 each year. Our classes are small with an average 14:1 student ratio, creating a close community where each student is personally known and cared for.

YC is about more than the beautiful campus or bustling athletic facilities, more than the welcoming halls, classrooms and student life gathering spaces. YC is a community of students, educators, families and alumni who each represent an important part of the school’s story and carry their piece into the world as they leave their mark as learners and leaders. If you are seeking a place that prioritizes academics alongside personal well-being and encourages students to cultivate their passions through diverse learning and extracurricular activities, it is time to consider making YC a part of your story.
