The Application Process
Students across Pennsylvania are invited to apply to attend the York Academy. Each grade is filled with a specific number of students, selected by Lottery. Priority is given to siblings of current students and to those who live in our chartering districts: Central York, York City, and York Suburban. If those children do not fill all the openings, we offer placement to those from other districts. Additional children are placed on a waiting list. We contact parents in Lottery order during the school year if there is room for their child.
Although applications are accepted anytime, we highly encourage families to apply in February and March, so their child is included in the annual Lottery for the upcoming school year. Otherwise, they must be added to the end of the waiting list.
Completing the Application
When you complete the application, you will need to upload photos of two proofs of residency that reflect your child's home address.
Examples of the first proof of residency:
A copy of your rental lease agreement or home purchase agreement, 2022 tax bill, 2022 school property taxes, W2, 1040 or a notarized letter stating the parent's address and that the child resides there.
Examples of the second proof of residency:
A copy of your driver's license, pay stub, utility bill (ex. water, sewer, electricity), insurance card (ex. auto) or bank statement.
