FAQs - Saint Margaret of York

No. Students of all faiths are welcome at Saint Margaret of York. Our students come from a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds, and we are proud of our diversity. Currently, 10% of our students practice outside of the Catholic faith.

St. Margaret of York offers a variety of resources and services, and we do accommodate many students with IEPs. Our principal, with the help of our full-time Student Advocate and Special Education Coordinator, will review your child's IEP to ensure we can provide the necessary assistance. If we are unable to meet your needs, we would be happy to refer you to neighboring schools with the appropriate support for your child.
St. Margaret of York School is a Jon Peterson Scholarship provider, which allows students with an IEP to receive state funding for services.

Our school day is from 8:00 AM-3:00 PM. We offer After-School Care from 3:00 PM-6:00 PM. We do not offer Before-School Care, however students may be dropped off as early as 7:30 AM. For more information on our After-School Care program please click here.
