Our Learning Framework
At our school, we believe every learner is on a journey to understand themselves and the rapidly changing world around them. To support that journey, we focus on two core areas of learning, supported by four key competencies that will serve students both now and in the future.
Look Within
At York students look within to learn about who they are and how to be the best version of themselves: confident, self-aware and kind. With holistic support and meaningful challenge, students focus on self-discovery, growth, and integrity.
Seek Out
At York students seek out opportunities to connect and contribute. They learn about the world and their place in it. They engage with different ideas, cultures, problems and possibilities to understand how to be good people, good friends and global citizens.
Think Critically
The ability to make sound judgements or evaluations based on evidence using reasoning, interpretation, inferences and analysis.
Be Creative
The process that leads to the generation of valuable and original ideas.
Work Together
Sharing ideas, skills, knowledge and efforts to reach a common goal.
Build Resilience
The capacity to overcome setbacks, adapt well to change, and keep going in the face of adversity.
