About Manhattan Prep School

Since 1969, York Prep has been helping students achieve academic and personal excellence. Following the founding vision of Ronald and Jayme Stewart that placed students’ needs above curriculum while still providing structure and a rigorous academic environment, the school continues to offer the best in private education in New York City. York Prep has one of the most notable acceptance rates among Manhattan prep schools; one-hundred percent of graduating classes are accepted into colleges across the nation, and more than eighty-five percent of students are accepted into their top two choices.

To help our students gain acceptance to top-tier schools, we operate on an ability-based academic system that places students into math, humanities, science, and foreign language classes where they will have the best chance of succeeding. Technology is integrated into every aspect of learning in order to keep our students’ skill sets relevant to today’s technology-centered environment. Additionally, the Honors and Jump Start programs offer support for students with unique learning needs.

Located at 40 West 68th Street in the Lincoln Center area of New York City, York Prep is a recognized New York preparatory school approved by the New York State Board of Regents. We are also accredited by the Middle State Association of Colleges and Schools.
