York Academy of Discovery is a faith-based enrichment program provided at no cost to children and families in need (low income, foster care, trauma).  Our program is open to all students with a focus on children in need.  We believe in a small group experience in order that we may build relationships, meet social-emotional needs and provide trauma informed instruction.  York enriches young lives through the arts, community exploration, and play-based academic opportunities. 
​A 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

​How were the men and one woman on the Lewis and Clark expedition able to push on?  Surely there were many times they wanted to give up.  But they did not.  They continued with their expedition of discovery.  When all seemed impossible, they fought on.  Great determination, great strength, and great trust in each other produced new knowledge to be shared with others.  York, a slave, was a major contributor to the success of this journey.  Never doubt the impact of one person. 
 
There are people each and every day that set a course of exploration and discovery.  At times journeys are filled with twists and turns, road blocks, and new directions. 
 
York advocates on behalf of young children.  Our desire is to establish enrichment experiences that meet the needs of the whole child.
 
Currently, we are providing an early childhood experience that operates four days per week.  See additional information on this website.  If you have questions about our program, please contact Becky at bkischnick2@gmail.com.
