Hi there, and welcome to YORK Talks, a podcast for families wanting to learn more about The York school, Toronto's leading co-ed independent school delivering the IB programme from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12. I'm your host, Natasha Estey. Join me in conversation with school leaders, teachers, students and parents in The York School community about different aspects of the school providing you with a more candid look... inside York. The YORK Talks podcast series is modelled after our popular YORK Talks events that were held on campus with a more formal presentation format. We wanted to leverage the podcast medium to provide families with insights and content in a more intimate, digestible, and accessible format, and including a more diverse range of voices and perspectives. Even with the better part of a decade of experience working in admissions at The York School, I jumped at this opportunity to connect with expert educators, articulate students, and engaged parents in a more informal, conversational way. I knew they would have a lot to teach me - and all the families listening - about what makes The York School great. You can look forward to episodes where we'll learn what choice, voice, and ownership means in the context of the Primary Years Programme, understand what makes the Integrative Canadian Experience - or ICE - experiential learning at its best, hear teachers and current students discuss whether the IB Diploma programme is worth it, and find out about the school's gold standard university counselling programme. Don't miss Episode 1 - Building a School Culture - coming soon. You can find YORK Talks at www.yorkschool.com/YORKTalks or subscribe wherever you find your podcasts.
