General Info

It is toward this goal that we structure programs, develop curricula, hire teachers, and admit students. It is against this goal that we measure the success of our students, our faculty, and the school as a whole. As an independent school, admission to Harlem Academy is selective. 12% of inquiring families are admitted to the school based on uniform criteria for family partnership, engagement in the learning process, and academic potential. Over 90% of admitted families choose to enroll, and every enrolling family signs a contract stating their financial and personal investment in their child's education. This investment is non-negotiable, but tuition is set to a sliding scale based on household income. No student is ever turned away for financial reasons.
