The Gathering Place is a proposed K12 public school in San Antonio dedicated to nurturing each child's inner-brilliance.
Ryan York is the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of The Gathering Place, a charter school located in San Antonio, Texas. His career in education began with the founding of a nonprofit organization that served numerous students and families. He has a strong focus on fostering creativity and hands-on learning, exemplified by his establishment of The Wheelhouse at The Gathering Place, a dedicated makerspace for students.13
In recent developments, York faced significant challenges; he resigned from his position in October 2023 after being placed on leave due to a "breach of trust" as determined by the school's board.4 This incident has been part of broader discussions surrounding the school's governance and operational practices.2
York's educational philosophy emphasizes collaboration and collective work, aiming to create an environment where both students and staff can thrive.1
