Students in DP Science Classes Have Unforgettable Tri-State Field Experiences

Port Isabel

Juniors and seniors in Mrs. Reed's Diploma Programme (DP) Science classes were on a quest to investigate the environmental changes that affect the Codorus Creek watershed and the greater Chesapeake Bay.

They worked to determine the health of our waterways and created school-based action plans that will positively impact our grounds and make them greener. 

Students had meaningful field experiences and took water samples at Port Isabel, VA in the Tangier Sound, from the Codorus State Park and near the Philip Merrill Environmental Center in Annapolis, MD. They also took samples from the Codorus Creek near the Upper School and compared all of their findings.

They also hosted the final event for the 22nd Annual Watershed Week! It was terrific to see many families and community members thee to support our students! We're extremely proud of them for making a tri-state impact through environmental stewardship as global citizens. Watch for more details about how their incredible school-based action plans will make a difference!


First Grade Food & Monetary Drive to Help Those Here & Abroad

York Academy first graders made a local and global impact through their annual Food Drive and Monetary Service Project! Lower School students donated over 800 pounds of canned/boxed items to benefit Catholic Harvest Food Pantry. They also raised funds to support Heifer International. Some of our fourth graders even came to help pack the van. It was wonderful to see how our students and families #uknighted to help others here and abroad! We also appreciate Ed Weinstock and Mike from WGAL News 8 for coming to cover it!


    Third Graders Learn About Herpetology

    HerpetologyDo you want to be a herpetologist? Our third grade students had to write an opinion paragraph responding to that question.
    Ms. Joy, one of the instructional assistants, shared her knowledge and artifacts with each third grade class. We are happy to have her help us build our understanding of CKLA through her real-life experiences.
