Building is underway at our NEW CAMPUS.
The York Preparatory Academy School Board and Managing Director were joined by Senator Wes Hayes and Rep. Ralph Norman as they broke ground to begin building the new YP campus scheduled to open in August of this year.
"York Prep is about the kids." Board Chairman Craig Craze said as he summed up the school's attitude.
Senator Wes Hayes and Representative Ralph Norman, who have been great supporters of the school, work tirelessly for education and the rights of children. Senator Hayes said that he would be back to help cut the ribbon.
Everybody had an opportunity to take part in the ceremony as students, parents and faculty were invited to take a shovel.
York Prep is the only Charter School in York County and is proud to have the opportunity to try some new approaches to teaching.
A South Carolina Charter School is a public school and does not charge a tuition. If you are interested in York Preparatory Academy for your child, contact our number below.

With 2012 fully underway, some very good things are going on at York Preparatory Academy.
New approaches are in the works as SPED (Special Education) will soon be using iPads with their students to enhance an already strong program. The iPads are very adaptable to the needs of students with disabilities and there are many applications designed to develop much needed skills. The iPads will be on a mobile cart and can be moved from room to room as needed
We have also ordered two carts of mobile laptops which teachers can use in their classrooms to give their students more exposure to 21st Century learning. With one fixed computer lab in the Media Center and two mobile labs, our students will get an even better chance to improve the skills they will take into high school and college.
The new campus is the real excitement around York Prep. Now that work has begun, we are looking forward to a beautiful new campus that will allow us to spread our elbows and our wings. With the added room to grow, new and expanded programs will give our students an even richer educational experience.
