What The York School says about their university placement record and services:
Choosing a university is one of the most important decisions a high school student makes. That’s why The York School has a dedicated University Counselling team. Our in-house experts provide the information and guidance that our learners – and their parents – need to select the programs and universities that are right for them.Every student is matched with a university counsellor as soon as they enter our Senior School. As the student and counsellor build a relationship throughout high school, the counsellor develops a good understanding of the learner’s academic goals, career aspirations, extracurricular interests and personality. With this knowledge, the counsellor helps the student identify post-secondary environments where they’ll thrive.
