Our Mission
East Harlem Scholars Academies are public charter schools that prepare students with the skills, strength of character, and emotional well-being to excel academically, lead in their communities and realize their best possible selves.
East Harlem Scholars Academies are operated by East Harlem Tutorial Program, a community-based organization founded in 1958.

OUR CAMPUSES & SCHOOLS
What started more than 60 years ago as a reading group in the living room of a community leader has grown into a multi-dimensional educational program that includes five charter schools, after-school programming and college prep. East Harlem Scholars Academies are committed to providing youth in the neighborhood with the academic excellence and supports needed to thrive.
