Mission: With an unrelenting focus on academic excellence, the York Academy Regional Charter School challenges students in a diverse learning environment opening doors for growth, opportunity and global citizenship.

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE WORLD SCHOOL

The York Academy is an authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) World School. We are proud to be the only school in York County - and one of just four in Pennsylvania - authorized to offer the IB Primary Years (K-5) and Middle Years Programmes (6-10). Currently, the York Academy Upper School is a candidate school* for the Diploma Programme (11 & 12).

IB programmes focus on teaching students to think critically and independently, and how to inquire with care and logic. The IB curriculum is shared in 5,000 schools globally in over 150 countries around the world.

*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (DP) or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit www.ibo.org.

Do you have an instrument at home just collecting dust? Please consider donating it to a good cause! We'll put it to use right away, and our students will be thrilled. The community response to our fall instrument drive was outstanding and we'd appreciate any help this time. Thank you!

A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

Dr. Dennis Baughman The York Academy is in its eighth year of operation and I am pleased to have the privilege of leading this school as it continues to evolve into a K-12 International Baccalaureate World School.

The Academy provides children with many unique advantages that will inspire them to learn and grow through an International Baccalaureate (IB) framework. Our mission focuses on academic excellence and uses academic goals to direct our programming. It is expected that each child will demonstrate academic growth throughout the course of each school year. The International Baccalaureate framework provides the opportunity for an inquiry approach to education with an emphasis on collaborative learning opportunities.

As a parent or guardian, your involvement in your child's education is critically important and we ask that you participate in the learning experience with your child. Be aware of the content being taught in class, review assessment information, and watch for communications from the teaching staff and administration that is sent home or emailed to you.

I am pleased that you have selected to exercise your right for school choice and our staff is eager to provide your child with a quality academic program that infuses an inquiry-based philosophy with an International flavor into our school.

Dennis P. Baughman, D. Ed.
Chief Executive Officer
