I'm incredibly proud of the Class of 2023, and I know they will do tremendous things. Their hard work paid off, and all 19 of them will be furthering their education, just like those in our inaugural class! I invite you to watch graduation and take a look at these 68 photos. It was a joyful and touching event.

I would like to thank you for your support and the immeasurable ways you make a difference in your children's lives. Enjoy the summer, and I look forward to seeing you in August!

Congrats to Mrs. Laura Riggs on being our final Knight Staff Superstar! She is the Diploma Programme (DP) Coordinator and works closely with juniors and seniors. Mrs. Riggs was nominated for exemplifying the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile attribute of being caring.

Two of her colleagues teamed up and shared these kind words: "As we finish the year, I would like to recognize Mrs. Riggs for all of her hard work and excellence relating to all things graduation.

She planned the Senior Prom, which was held at the Agricultural and Industrial Museum. The seniors were welcomed into a beautiful garden-themed event. Mrs. Riggs even participated in a Senior Scavenger Hunt with them throughout the museum. She also organized the Senior Picnic and Breakfast to make them feel amazing and recognize their perseverance and success.

We wrapped up the week with Graduation - an absolutely fantastic evening that provided joy for the families and allowed them to celebrate their children for working so hard to get there!

All of our Diploma Programme students know that Mrs. Riggs loves and respects them. She goes above and beyond to make every student feel heard and important. Her passion for making York Academy the best school possible is showcased each day when she walks through the doors.

Mrs. Riggs always looks at every plan or decision through the lens of what is best for our students, and I am honored to work alongside her." 

Thank you for the countless ways you support and care for your students, Mrs. Riggs. You are appreciated!

Did you know that the YARCS Uniform & Spirit Wear Store is open all year on a rolling basis? The next deadline is June 30. Items placed by then will arrive before school starts, and we will be in touch when they arrive. Shop now!

Upper School students (7-12) are required to wear a specific York Academy t-shirt and black athletic shorts for gym class. The t-shirt is available in the store for $10. You are welcome to purchase the black shorts shown with the T-shirt, but it is not required. Students may wear any school-appropriate black shorts.

Please Note: Items in the Spirit Wear section are not part of the York Academy uniform, and may not be worn to school unless it's a designated Dress Down Day.

Other than the Upper School gym T-shirt, you are not required to purchase any items from the store. Your child may wear any clothing that meets the Dress Code. Need a refresher? Read it in English or in Spanish.
