Founded in 2011, the York Academy is the most diverse school in our community, with 63% of its students coming from economically disadvantaged neighborhoods in the City of York and surrounding communities. STEM is a critical component of the International Baccalaureate curriculum offered at the York Academy. Success in these courses will translate to receiving college credits and scholarships and put students on the path to college careers rewarding them with promising futures in the STEM workforce. Good for these students AND good for our local businesses.
