York House School is a leading independent day school for girls located in the heart of Shaughnessy, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Founded in the middle of the Great Depression by seven insightful women, York House continues to honour its traditions of the past by providing challenging opportunities for girls in academics, fine arts, athletics and community service. Their mission is to provide an unparalleled learning environment where each girl is empowered to develop her abilities and pursue her passions. From Junior Kindergarten (4-year-old program) to Grade 12 , they honour what makes each girl exceptional, and enable her to excel in her chosen path. == History == York House School was founded during the Great Depression in 1932 by a visionary group of women: Mrs. Lena Cotsworth Clarke, Mrs. Janet Mitchell, Mrs. Grace B. Faris, Mrs. Virginia Moore Mackay, Mrs. Marie Gerhartdt-Olly, Mrs. Gladys Jopling and Mrs. Gretchen Hyland.〔http://www.yorkhouse.ca/school-profile〕 The school opened with 17 students in September 1932 at 4355 Granville Street in Vancouver as a residential and day school for girls, and was named after the cathedral city of York, England, home to founder and first Headmistress, Mrs. Clarke, who led the school for 26 years.〔http://our.yhs.ca/timeline/〕 The school grew rapidly and in 1939 moved to its present site at 4176 Alexandra Street. Since that time, enrolment has increased to 656 students and there have been many expansions and renovations to the school campus. The grand old homes that originally housed the school have given way to newer buildings, attesting to the school’s commitment to provide facilities that meet the educational challenges of the future and maintain the standard of excellence envisioned by the founders.〔http://our.yhs.ca/buildings-that-shaped-us/〕 The school’s development over the years has been directed by the successful leadership and guidance of its nine Heads.〔http://our.yhs.ca/our_heads/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「York House School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
