DRAFT 2026-27 academic year calendar
Dear York Community,
Linked here is the DRAFT 2026-27 academic year calendar.
Please note, the exact dates for the March Break in 2027 are still being confirmed amongst the other CIS Ontario schools due to the Easter holiday falling in late March.
We hope to have an update for our community by the end of January 2026.
Athletics
It’s been an amazing winter term! U14 Girls Volleyball remains undefeated and our younger athletes from U9, U10, U11 and U12 will begin showcasing their skills in 2026.
We’re looking forward to an awesome new year. On January 12, the “We Can Play Conference” will be headlined by a true legend, 2025 Olympic Silver Medalist in Beach Volleyball Brandie Wilkerson, and Team Canada Basketball Head Coach Carly Clarke.
On January 16, we will host the epic “Battle of Farnham,” a Varsity Basketball game against De La Salle. We’ve hosted Friday Night Lights games in the past, but we want this one to go down in York School history. Our entire community is invited to attend. The game starts at 6:00pm and the Roadside Grill food truck will be on site to provide some great eats. Let's make this happen!

Wishing Everyone a safe and happy holiday.
