Facilities
The school, which then housed 250 students, made news in 1997 when it expanded in an unusual transaction, trading property with Ramaz School. Ramaz purchased a new building for York Preparatory at 68th Street and traded that for the existing school at East 85th Street.
The new site—a seven-level granite building—houses three computer labs, a large gym, a work-out room, an art studio, two professionally equipped science labs. The school has no cafeteria, so students must either bring their lunch or buy lunch outside the school every day. York Prep has no nurse on site.

“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
