What People Say 

What do parents and leading educators think?

"Yorktown is the best school in the world"
Yorktown's Australian mother who has educated her child all over the world.

Southern Methodist University Professor, “My life’s work is how to best educate our
children.  Yorktown was the only school I found putting into practice what researchtells schools to do, which is to tailor instruction to the child, require high levels of mastery, and reward good work – principles that are hard to find.

"Obviously brilliant."
-Susan Patrick, formerly Head of the US Department of Education's Technology Office, now President of the North American Council for Online Learning, one of the "Top 10 Educators of the Last Decade"

"Whether one is a fan of public or private schools, Yorktown is just the disruptive innovation needed for lasting education reform." 
-John Stanley, Founder, The Legacy Group, Inc. 

I really am amazed at the system you have developed. The options for students, parents, and teachers really are incredible. It seems that you have recognized all of the problems with the traditional school system and found a solution for everything. There has been so much criticism of public schools, but few have come up with real and effective solutions.  Your group has my genuine admiration for coming up with an outstanding alternative. I'm a big believer in the free market system and think it is high time for a reasonable-cost, highly flexible, individualized alternative to become available to those who want top-notch education.  I would be thrilled and incredibly proud to work for Yorktown..... I haven't been this excited about the future of education since I started my teaching career. 
-Senior Florida Virtual Schools Teacher and course designer

Yorktown intends to meld quality education with free market principles and accountability. When effectively realized, these ideas can work together to make significant improvements in American private and public education."
