Philanthropic donations cover 85% of Harlem Academy ’ s operating costs.
Message from Board Chairman & Head of School
Our goal is to be the most transformational school in New York City. Children from low-income households enter first grade with only half the vocabulary of their middleclass peers. Harlem Academy’s curriculum works hard to reduce the gap and the results have been transformational. Last year, the median vocabulary score for our eighth grade students was in the 99th percentile. Our students are graduating with the strongest vocabularies in the nation. Our graduates are thriving at some of the finest secondary schools in the nation, including Spence, Chapin, Riverdale, and Hotchkiss. None of this would happen without the generous support of our donors. Tuition currently covers approximately 15% of the cost per student. We are very grateful for our donors who supply the additional 85% annually. On behalf of the students, families, teachers, and staff, we thank you. The impact of your gifts and the school’s growth this past year will continue in the pages of the 2014– 2015 Annual Report. Sincerely,
David B. Peterson Chairman, Board of Trustees
Vincent A. Dotoli Head of School 3

Kyle ’12 and Nathaniel ’15 arriving at Stony Brook for the start of the 2015-16 school year.

Kyle ‘12 & Nathaniel Broomes ‘15
Navigating Secondary School Admissions Kyle Broomes ’12 is a thriving senior at the Stony Brook School. This year, his brother Nathaniel ’15 is joining him as a freshman. But back when Kyle started his secondary school search, the Broomes family was in uncharted territory. For most Harlem Academy families, this is their first experience with the highly competitive secondary school admissions process. We start families in sixth grade with a series of meetings to understand the options, outlining the differences between boarding, day, parochial, and public schools and the requirements for admission. Then, working with each family, we help them develop a list of potential schools. Over the next two years, families explore local schools, and teachers take them to visit boarding schools. Volunteers work with students on interview practice and test preparation. Staff members work with admissions officers to clarify interest and access to scholarships. And then we coach families through the complex application and financial aid forms, helping them to do everything they
“The process was strenuous,” said Mrs. Broomes. “But Mr. Dotoli was very hands-on in guiding us. Having a head of school that connected, showing that much care — it’s rare to see.” For three years, Kyle has succeeded at Stony Brook. “He still sees material from Harlem Academy in classes,” said Mrs. Broomes. He is a strong student, participates in the life of the school, and has built a good group of friends. Now Nathaniel ’15 has joined him. In just his first week, Nathaniel wrote to thank his former math teacher for how much he recognized and for how well the “tricks” she’d taught him still worked. “He seems to have transitioned well,” said his mother. “Kyle’s friends want to help him and make sure he’s alright. Kyle does pick on him sometimes,” she laughed, “but the boys are mostly supportive of each other. There is good camaraderie at the school.”
