The Board Chairman
This report was designed for our supporters as a window into the school’s progress, financial integrity, and commitment to high-potential students in Harlem. Our goal from the beginning has been to build an elite institution in the community with the worst performing schools. Education at its best can be transformational, and Harlem Academy aims to be the most transformational school in New York City. We are now eight years into this effort, and we continue

A MESSAGE FROM
The Head of School
I recently led a tour of Harlem Academy for some of our supporters. When we stopped by the second grade classroom, we were greeted by AJ, who is seven years old. AJ shook every visitor’s hand, looked each one in the eye, and introduced himself. He then described what was going on in the classroom that morning, engaging in back and forth with the visitors about what most interested him about it. I asked him what his favorite subject was (I already knew

Character development is at the core of our advisory program, where middle school students discuss conflict resolution, adolescent issues, and leadership. It is fantastic to see students focus on their own choices and then put these tools into practice as role models for younger students in their weekly service projects.
PROGRAM
65%
At the foundation of Harlem Academy’s model is a dedication to rigorous academics, character development, and family partnership. Our goal is to go beyond simply overcoming the disparities facing low-income children; we seek to launch students’ academic careers by unleashing their creativity, providing opportunities for personal growth, and challenging students at every turn.

NYSAIS Accreditation Harlem Academy was granted full accreditation one year early by the New York State Association of Independent Schools (NYSAIS) based on the strength of the school’s program. School Creed A school creed was developed to give the Harlem Academy community common language around shared values, strengthening the character development component of the program. The creed starts with I am bold and creative and ends with I never give up.
Saturday Club A group of young professionals helped to launch Saturday Club, a program for students focusing on social and character development. Activities— including crafts, games, and athletics—and mentoring from successful young adults stimulate and challenge the students, complementing the rigorous weekday academics.
Middle School Expanded The school continued its expansion by adding another grade, developing further curriculum for math, science, English, reason and rhetoric, history, advisory, athletics, service, and clubs.

As the school year progresses it is exciting to see students’ eagerness to learn new things. They ask more questions and seek out answers. They experiment with different genres to express themselves and have a never-ending list of science hypotheses to explore. As a teacher, I have the privilege of seeing this amazing growth as the students develop.
PEOPLE
At Harlem Academy we are working with students and their families to overturn the status quo for highpotential children from low-income communities like the Harlem area.

SCHOOL GROWTH
Harlem Academy’s student body and teaching staff have grown dramatically since the school’s inception in 2004.
2 01 0 -2 01 1 H I G H LI G H T S 357 Volunteers From tutoring students to organizing the library, from chaperoning school trips to serving on event committees, from leading Saturday Club to introducing new donors to the school – 357 volunteers generously donated more than 8,000 hours of time to Harlem Academy this past year.
23% More Students Served Harlem Academy added a grade and welcomed 27 new students and their families to the school, including a full complement for the class of 2018. Returning Staff While the school was only seven years old, the staff included 10 members with five or more years of service. Several staff took on new leadership roles, including lower school reading director, lower school writing director, and dean of students, helping to strengthen the academic curriculum and character development aspects of the school’s program.
819 Donors During the 2010-11 year, 819 individual donors, foundations, and corporations made gifts to Harlem Academy totaling more than $2 million.
New Teachers Hired Four strong educators joined the Harlem Academy faculty, all of whom either have a master’s degree or are in the process of obtaining one.

ANN MACRAE Tr uste e
Every time I teach in a classroom at Harlem Academy, I am amazed by the students’ enthusiasm for new ideas and by how they remember every single detail of what I have taught them for years to come. These children are eager to learn, they find tremendous satisfaction in meeting new challenges, and they are proud of their accomplishments.
O R G A n I Z AT I O N
The goal of Harlem Academy is to become the most transformational school in New York City. At its best education opens the door to opportunities, serving as a steppingstone for our most disadvantaged populations and helping to transform lives. This past year saw significant growth and progress toward this goal; we look forward to continuing to improve in the coming year.

O R G A N I Z AT I O N A L E F F I C I E N C Y
Harlem Academy prioritizes the efficient use of contributions to best deliver its mission, with 79% of spending going directly to the program. The school meets all 20 of the charity accountability standards put forward by the Better Business Bureau.
2 01 0 -2 01 1 H I G H LI G H T S Classroom Space Expansion To accommodate our growing middle school, new space was acquired, and 1,900 square feet were renovated to house grades seven and eight for the 2011-12 school year.
New York Times Nonprofit Excellence Award The New York Times named Harlem Academy the top winner at their 2011 Nonprofit Excellence Awards, which recognize achievement in nonprofit management. Harlem Academy is the first school ever to receive this prestigious honor, which required an intensive assessment and included two rounds of written applications, a threehour interview and site visit, and a workshop presentation for other nonprofit leaders.
Technology By utilizing SmartBoards in all middle school classrooms and by making laptops available to all middle school students, Harlem Academy both leverages the power of technological tools to increase the impact of our teachers and ensures that students develop proficiency with technology as a core skill.
Efficiency In spite of its rapid growth, Harlem Academy continues to offer a school day that is 36% longer than average public and charter schools at less than 60% of the cost of the average New York City independent school.

FINANCIALS
Harlem Academy has demonstrated financial sustainability and efficiency as the organization has grown over the course of the last eight years. The school deeply appreciates the strong support of our donors, who provide 85% of source funding.

“The peak of my day is picking up my daughters and hearing them share what they have learned in school. They are never ready to go home at the end of the day. Harlem Academy creates and nurtures the minds of our future. I also love the relationships between the home, students, and teachers. Harlem Academy is developing children’s academic and social well-being.” H A R L E M AC A D E M Y PA R E N T
