A Few Words About Us
Our First Three Priorities Are:
Academics, like the Ivy League. Schools have only one first priority. Look where the school is spending time, money and what they are promoting. Yorktown leads in academics, while football and sports lead the pack in some schools. Yorktown’s improvement tops other schools; it is our first priority. Academics provide the base knowledge and skills needed to succeed in life.
Social skills, our caring, encouraging environment is driven by the focus on social skills and practices. We even have our own required “social skills” and “learning how to learn” curriculum and classes. People skills are key to success within companies and organizations.
Something special about your student, our time flexible program supports your student’s special interests. Some of America’s top athletes attend Yorktown as well as singers and actors. Our first graduate spent 2,000 hours helping at a horse ranch for disabled children. We support extracurricular activities for all of our students. We believe that this leads to a happy, successful life and better college admissions.
Our students are stars each in their own way!

Yorktown Education gets results by:
Focusing on improving the individual student to be their personal best.
A calm, cooperative environment where students help fellow students, work in small groups and receive individual attention from teachers. Unlike others schools, students are not ranked and put in competition with each other.
Students working smarter, more efficiently and with new technologies. Students work with a flexible time table that respects them as individuals. Every regular student who follows the program and averages five hours per week per course achieves superior results compared to their other schools. Yorktown does more with the same time traditional students spend sitting in a “sage on a stage” classroom.
Encouraging college coursework while in high school. Yorktown pays for early college credits. Students can save more in college tuition costs than they spend on Yorktown tuition.
You must visit Yorktown Education to understand the advanced education program. Students work and accomplish their goals. Yorktown is better because it is different. It is not for behavior problems.
Yorktown Education is for those who wish to live better lives and achieve their goals.
