A Changing World
The world is changing rapidly. Personal computers, cell phones, advanced videogames, Facebook and Twitter did not even exist five years ago. Schools should prepare students to thrive and prosper in this ever-changing world.
But the traditional educational system, public and private, has not adapted to the new world. The U.S. system is one of the oldest in the world and has fallen to number 28 out of 40 leading countries. Texas education ranks 42nd and 43rd on the national SAT and ACT exams.
Competition to get in the best colleges is growing tougher each day from private schools and international students. Private schools now educate 12% of K-12 students in the U.S. And private school students are admitted to "elite" colleges at 10 times the rate of public school students.

The Yorktown Difference
Yorktown Education prepares children to not only survive, but to thrive in a global environment. Graduates have the skills they need to choose what they want to do with their lives - and to be good at it.
Every student is an individual with their own talents, abilities and weaknesses. Yorktown tailors the student's education to their needs. They learn better, faster and more effectively.
Since every child is different, Yorktown customizes every student's education to fit his or her learning style, strengths and interests. Athletes or students with special interests may have a flexible schedule with less in-class time. Students with a desire to advance quickly can opt for a full-time, year-round schedule. Children learn faster, stay focused and are happy with their success.
At Yorktown, each course is "mastery-based" to an A-level grade of 90 percent or higher. Students complete a class when they learn the material fully. Yorktown gives each student the individual attention, time and resources necessary to achieve this goal.

Social training is an important part of their education, and graduates understand how to conduct themselves like ladies and gentlemen in any situation.
