Profile:
At The York School in Toronto, students from a wide range of cultural backgrounds are exposed to a unique combination of academic studies, music, art and athletics in Canada's only school accredited to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) at all levels. The TYS community shares a love of learning in an atmosphere where research, critical analysis and the development of problem-solving skills are paramount.

Students at The York School have opportunities to take risks, to voice their opinions and to effect changes within the school environment. They participate in activities that promote social and multicultural awareness, cooperation and leadership, in preparation for the challenges of a more complex society.

Project Brief:
As The York School celebrated its 40th anniversary, the School recognized a need to re-establish its online image and provide the School’s community with a modern communication solution. Their new website would not only need to improve their existing e-communication opportunities, but also it would have to respect the role e-communication has played in the TYS community to date. Eighty20 was easily the partner of choice for The York School.

Results:
The York School's website now communicates the school's distinct voice and image, enhancing the established role that online communication plays in the TYS community. Eighty20's Content Manager allows a number of content authors to collaborate from different campuses and locations to best manage a consistent supply of current information.

The website also connects the school’s online tools, FirstClass and Blackboard, presenting improved communication flow and exposure.
