Harlem Academy started with a singular goal — to overturn the status quo for high-potential children in Harlem. We set out to create a school where success would be based on ability and drive, not on a zip code, a lottery, or a family’s wealth.
Harlem Academy shares its innovative programs and successful strategies with the broader education community by publishing articles in national education journals, extending the school’s impact beyond its walls.
