York Prep students have also traveled beyond New York to attend events, including the Dodge Poetry Festival in Newark, New Jersey. Last March, upper school Spanish students traveled to Puerto Rico during Spring Break. Accompanied by Spanish teachers Ms. Pevzner and Mr. Rossi, the students explored the historic towns of Old San Juan and Ponce, aided in community service projects, learned salsa dancing, hiked and swam in El Yunque Rainforest, took an eco-boat tour of La Paguera, and relaxed on the beach in El Cabo Rojo. This summer, upper school students also ventured out on an 11-day trip to China, where they traveled across four cities: Beijing, Chengdu, Dujiangyan, and Shanghai.
