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 is 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. By equipping our students with excellent academic and life skills, and guiding them to the university and program that will best allow them to flourish, The York School sets its graduates on the path to adult success.
