2012-2013 Features
R.U.S.H.(Roadmap to University Success with Honours) offers an enrichment program for high achieving students in 4 areas: MCS, Arts & Humanities, Neuro Science & Business. Students in grades 9-11 will follow the Pre-AP curriculum for all subjects (we are the only school in the TDSB to offer a full Pre-AP Program) and then take Advanced Placement courses in grades 11 and 12. Last May, YMCI students wrote 400 AP exams and celebrated 10 National AP Scholars. These accomplishments once again placed Y.M.C.I. as both, the largest and most successful public AP school in Ontario.

The students at York Memorial come from over 15 feeder schools and represent an unbelievable mix of cultures and experiences. At York Memorial we believe in the concept that all students should be receiving as holistic an education as possible. School is not just about books and memorization, it is also about learning life skills, making friends and discovering one's true self. We want all of our students to enjoy coming to school each and every day in order to learn and to better themselves.
Humanities
