About Us

The Yorktown Education mission is to provide the best possible foundation for our children to thrive and prosper in a modern free-market world.  Yorktown’s long-term goal is to make the best private education available to any child, worldwide.  Yorktown’s brand will stand for excellence worldwide.

Yorktown is specifically designed to become the first national chain of small, high quality private schools at less than half the cost per student of today's public school system and elite private schools. The 15,000 public school monopolies in the United States spend over $536 billion per year to serve 47 million children poorly with “free” education that costs taxpayers $11,400 per child annually. 

U.S. schools operate the way they did 100 years ago.  Children are bored; education is meager and schools are failing.  Teachers are poorly paid with few new methods or technologies, and turnover is high.  Quality is low; all students are taught the same lessons, the same way, at the same time, at the pace equal to that of the slowest learner.  Students are shuffled on by grade with little individual instruction.  As a direct outcome, parents are on private school waiting lists to spend an additional $10,000 or more per academic school year.  The U.S. private school market share has grown to over 5 million children.  This is 12% of U.S. K-12 students up from less than 3% 30 years ago.

Yorktown provides a superior, differentiated and patent pending educational product.  Yorktown customizes accelerated individual educational paths for students.  Teachers are treated as true professionals making up to $130,000 per year, and are subject-matter experts with long-term student relationships.  Yorktown maximizes performance with advanced instruction methods and technology.  Students may receive 20 hours of individual teaching attention monthly.  The superior, broader curriculum uses centralized delivery to improve learning anytime, at any pace, anywhere, for any student.  Yorktown’s success is driven by free-market dynamics and through management and directors who are driven to meet or exceed expectations to grow the schools significantly over time.

Yorktown plans to be the first nationally branded K-14 educational system in the United States.  Yorktown is a private secular school system, open to all students, costing under $4,200 per academic year.  Yorktown uses a flexible quarter system, and students may complete two or more academic years in a calendar year.  Yorktown’s static model delivers 80% of expenses to instruction, verses 32% for a typical public school system.  Graduates are expected to have completed 2 years of college at 18 years of age.

Yorktown has targeted a price point less than what public schools currently spend and less than half of other private schools to stimulate demand for this national chain.
