The Mount School York is an exceptional independent day and boarding school based in the heart of York.
We have been at the forefront of providing an exceptional education since 1785. Our Quaker founders knew that children excel within a nurturing and encouraging environment.Mount pupils are equipped with the skills, ambition and courage to succeed in everything they aspire to do and anything they aspire to be.
The Mount School was founded 1785, when prominent Quakers, Esther and William Tuke, wished to provide an education for the children of Quakers.A Quaker education at The Mount School does more than just prepare pupils for academic achievement. It prepares them for life. Mount pupils go out into society as people who combine responsibility and independence with an open-minded, questioning attitude. Pupils grow into to remarkable young adults who want to help to make the world a better place.
We are leaders in educating girls in an environment that is both inspirational and emphatic in its understanding of their needs especially as they progress through the demanding, and educationally vital, teenage years. We aim to graduate empowered and confident young women, enabling them to believe nothing is beyond their reach.
Our Quaker founders knew that senior girls excelled within an all-girls educational environment and we still believe this to be true today. Mount girls are equipped with the skills, ambition and courage to succeed in everything they aspire to do, and anything they aspire to be.
We are unreservedly proud of being a single-sex girls’ senior school and believe totally in the absolute benefits for girls of being educated in a single-sex environment during their teenage years. This approach applies in particular to the curricular and super-curricular environment and to many aspects of the co-curricular landscape in a school.
