2012-2013 ANNUAL REPORT
A MESSAGE FROM
The Board Chairman and Head of School “Education is the great equalizer.” – Horace Mann
On our 10th anniversary, we are proud of our accomplishments. All graduating students have been accepted into rigorous secondary schools and earned scholarships averaging 90% of their tuition. We have successfully built a school that is committed to developing bright, motivated children whose potential might otherwise go unrealized. Harlem Academy challenges students every day
Last year, the school received 167 applications
with the highest expectations for academic rigor
and more than 800 inquiries for only 35 spots.

PROGRAM
My son learns because he is happy at Harlem Academy. He looks forward to school. I see both academic and social progress in my son. He is a different child now. HARLEM ACADEMY PA R E N T
We challenge high performers to reach even higher. Over the course of 8 years at Harlem Academy, a student will read 1,400 books, write for 3,000 hours, master mathematics through algebra I, and conduct hundreds of hands-on science experiments. Even with our extended day, we offer this at 66% of the cost per student of traditional NYC independent schools.

P R O G R A M H I G H LI G HT S All the World’s a Stage Our performance-based unit draws students into the works of Shakespeare. Acting out the lines gives access to the language and nuance for students in grades six, seven, and eight. In May, two teams competed at the Classic Stage Company’s 2013 Shakespeare Smackdown. Despite being the only middle school participants in the competition, one of our teams earned second place.
From Stonehenge to Warhol In the new art curriculum, lower school students explore a range of artists, mediums, and techniques through hands-on study. At each end-of-year art show, they act as docents of their own work produced in the styles of influential artists they have studied. Frequent visits to the Met connect classroom work to the art at the museum. Examining Assumptions A new social issues reading and writing unit introduces grade-four students to critical analysis skills. They learn that text is not neutral by comparing authors’ perspectives and exploring issues of religion, gender, and culture.
A Focus on Academic Vocabulary The updated vocabulary curriculum incorporates the most effective teaching strategies: going deeper on fewer words, focusing on key academic words, and delving into shades of meaning. Students leave Harlem Academy with a better understanding of essential academic vocabulary and higher retention, positioning them for success in secondary school.
Trips and Academic Partners From astronomers and architects to actors and artists, a wide range of professionals supplement the classroom curriculum with advanced insights and practical applications of the material. A 3-day trip to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute also helps to broaden their horizons, as do regular visits to cultural resources around the city.

Number of Students
When asked to reflect on how difficult high school is so far, I realized that there has never been a moment where the thought “I can’t do this,” crossed my mind. From the very start of my high school career, I knew what I was doing. For once in my life, I was completely ready. I owe that confidence to Harlem Academy.

New Supporters Drive Event Growth The 2013 Spring Benefit was the most successful event in the school’s 10-year history, growing 60% from the previous year. More than two-thirds of the 330 guests were new supporters and saw the premiere of a video about the school donated by Granite Broadcasting Corporation.
Four Stars from Charity Navigator Harlem Academy received Charity Navigator’s highest rating for the second year in a row. We are one of only 15 private schools in the nation to earn the coveted four-star rating for fiscal responsibility, management efficiency, transparency, and adherence to nonprofit best practices.
Board Expands Bruno Bich, chairman of the board of the BIC Group, and Michael Toporek, managing general partner of Brookstone Partners, joined the Harlem Academy board of trustees.

“In our Reason and Rhetoric course, we have Socratic seminars. We sit in a circle, debating a topic we read an article about and annotated. It’s more like a conversation that has rules than a class. The conversation bounces around. At other schools, students are the spectators.” HARLEM ACADEMY GRADE-EIGHT STUDENT
