A MESSAGE FROM

The Head of School

On a tour this past spring, an educational leader commented that, “Harlem Academy has the mind of a traditional school and the heart of a progressive school.”

Like at traditional private schools, our students focus on

With the help of all our partners – families, donors,

the mastery of rigorous content and core academic skills.

and volunteers – Harlem Academy has made significant

At the same time, they dive into experiential learning,

strides toward our long-term vision of becoming the most

transformational school in New York City. Thank you for

fervor. This balance produces engaged students ready for

your support as we continue to advance toward this goal.

a lifetime of learning and prepared students ready for the rigor of the best high schools and colleges in the country.

Sincerely,

The results—described in these pages—underscore Harlem Academy’s transformational nature. In a community that lacks options for its brightest students,

this school provides a path. Students are admitted based

on merit and with a promise that the school will meet all demonstrated need for tuition support. Once enrolled, we support and challenge every student in every class, every day.

The visitor who made the opening observation was Jacqui Pelzer, executive director of Early Steps, a nonprofit that promotes racial diversity within New York City independent schools. Harlem Academy was invited this year to become a member of this respected organization, one of several key partners engaged in helping us realize our mission.

LOW E R S C H O O L P R O G R A M

Smart isn’t only something that you are naturally—it is also the time and effort you put into something. Kids who are resilient and persevere are the ones who flourish, those who have grit, will work hard to achieve their goals, and make strategies for how to reach them.

Our students value hard work.

HARLEM ACADEMY TEACHER

Students enter Harlem Academy curious and engaged. In lower school, they learn core skills in reading, writing, math, and science and develop habits for ongoing intellectual and social growth. The school pillars— initiative, integrity, compassion, and determination—are woven into each day.

LOW E R S C H O O L P R O G R A M H I G H LI G HT S Scores Soar With the median student at the 88th percentile, the 2011-12 lower school student body earned the highest scores in the school’s history on the nationally standardized ERB-CTP4 test.

NYC Trips Complement Classroom Instruction Lower school classes visited 47 of New York City’s cultural and educational institutions during 2011-12, reinforcing classroom lessons. Highlights included the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the 9/11 Memorial, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Botanical Gardens.

Math Curriculum Strengthened Continued professional growth in the use of Singapore math and the introduction of an advanced problem-solving lab have helped increase students’ math scores, solidifying key skills and pushing our highest-achieving students to new challenges.

A Leader Emerges LaShonda Davis was named Harlem Academy’s first lower school director. The former lower school reading director and grade-one teacher guides instruction, collaborates on curriculum development, and fosters family partnership in the lower school.

03

MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM

At Harlem Academy they expect a lot from you - even if you have an ‘A’ you can do better. Their standards are higher than your own. The things they teach you become second nature.

HARLEM ACADEMY STUDENT

Middle school courses are built to challenge our bright and inquisitive students with rigorous content, opportunities for applied learning, and ample time for independent exploration.

The program includes many traditional offerings, but we also welcome innovations that help us better prepare students for top secondary schools.

U.S. History Emphasizes Analytical Skills During this two-year course, students focus on six turning points in American history. The class emphasizes primary documents and builds the critical thinking skills needed to contextualize events, understand their causes and consequences, and analyze data like historians.

Innovative Human Biology Curriculum Introduced Grade-seven science begins with a study of human biology first at the cellular level and then as complex systems. The course culminates with a practical unit connecting emergency medicine to the students’ knowledge of what is happening at the cellular and systems levels.

Shakespeare Raises the Bar To challenge students and strengthen their foundation in classic literature, Harlem Academy introduces them to the works of William Shakespeare. Beginning in grade six, they read, watch, and perform at least one play each year and study Shakespearean sonnets before writing their own.

“There is more community here than at other schools. Here we work with focus.

There aren’t a lot of kids running around or talking when another student is talking or if the teacher is talking. Here it’s quiet.

You raise your hand when you want to say something. We know when to talk and when not to talk. I’m glad I’m here. ”
