“Although remote teaching is becoming somewhat of a new normal, it has pushed us to more creative ways to express ourselves as teachers and engaging with our students, other teachers, and parents. YPA administration and instructional support have been tremendous with preparing and working behind the scenes to be sure that we are ready for the ‘new norm’. For me, this demonstrates a true whole team. Teachers, parents, students, and administration are all working together as one BIG YPA educational family! As a result, I do believe this is going to be a great safe year with new mindsets and expectations and mostly....TEAMWORK!!”

At York Prep we believe that successful students start with a supported teaching staff. High School English Teacher, Mr. Jeremy Linnick said, "The teaching environment at YPA is unlike any other school where I've worked. These first few weeks of virtual learning have been a huge adjustment, but it's been nice to see and feel the support from administration. Their support helps me to do my job more efficiently." #GreatTeachers #YorkPrepFamily #FromRootstoBloom
