As a student at York Academy, you are always encouraged to chase your interests, ask big questions, and take the driver's seat in your own education. The Grade 6 Exhibition of Learning is the ultimate celebration of that mindset—and serves as your capstone experience before making the exciting leap to the Upper School!
Over several months, you’ll pick a topic that sparks your curiosity, dive deep into research, brainstorm creative solutions to real-world issues, and prepare to present your findings to your classmates, teachers, and family. Along the way, you’ll sharpen essential skills you’ll use for the rest of your life—including research, critical thinking, problem-solving, and public speaking.
More than just a big project, the Exhibition is your stage to showcase the confidence, creativity, and grit you’ve built throughout your time in the Lower School. By taking ownership of this experience, you’ll prove to yourself and your community that you’re fully prepared for all the amazing opportunities awaiting you in the Upper School.
