Stephanie Lopez is the Principal of York Prep. One the favorite parts of her job is working with the students and fostering a sense of community. The school's mission is to you promote the growth of students from grades six through 12 intellectually physically emotionally socially. York cares about the whole student. Their approach to education is quite unique. They are not teaching the same way teachers did 20 years ago. They are no longer the Sage on the Stage. They are hands-on, Theyre involved, they open dialogue, they have debates, they want interaction with the students. One unique approach is that York uses The Tracking System so they actually place students based on individual academic strengths and weaknesses. Some students can be strong and English and history, yet they might be a little more challenged in math and science – so they are able to tailor a curriculum that responds to that individual and allows that student to even excel in different areas and still challenges them in areas where they are strong. The administration still teaches in classrooms. They all teach the courses, all of the way up to the Headmaster to Principal to the Deans. <br />Stephanie teaches a history class to the 8th grade. York Prep is community. York Prep is excited learners. York Prep is compassionate educators.
