Harlem Academy drives equity of opportunity for promising students, guiding them to thrive at the highest academic levels and one day make a mark on the world.

FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

This year, Harlem Academy reached a meaningful milestone – full enrollment in our new building. We now serve 210 students, marking the completion of our most recent five-year strategic plan.

Crafted during the uncertainty of the pandemic, the plan laid out an ambitious vision: a 35,000-square-foot campus that would allow us to launch kindergarten and double our middle school. We envisioned an expanded program that would include sports, arts, foreign language, and comprehensive health and advisory programming, and we committed to establishing an endowment. Together, we have brought this bold plan to life.

Walking into school today, it’s hard to imagine Harlem Academy without our joyful, engaged kindergartners. Older students are thriving in our interscholastic sports teams, immersive visual and performing arts programs, and tennis, soccer, and fencing classes. We’ve become a beacon within our community, proudly hosting local leaders at our first-ever Renaissance Day, authors and academics throughout our literary speaker series, and more than 40 schools at our high school fair. And our inaugural endowment stands at $10 million, providing a permanent foundation for Harlem Academy’s future.

Most importantly, we accomplished all of this while remaining true to the mix of academic rigor, joy, and integrity that has always defined the Harlem Academy experience. This June, we will graduate twice as many future leaders as ever and launch a new strategic plan. I hope you will join me in pursuing an equally bold vision for Harlem Academy’s next chapter.

With gratitude,

Vinny Dotoli

The Harlem Academy Difference

RIGOROUS ACADEMICS

Our advanced curriculum builds core skills in reading, writing, math, and scientific inquiry. Experiential learning sparks intellectual curiosity, whether working with poets, collaborating with architects, competing in math contests, or harvesting vegetables in our hydroponics lab.

EXTENDED DAY

School opens at 7:15 a.m. and closes at 6 p.m., offering time for enrichment and flexibility for families. After-school sports teams and clubs, including chess, math, STEM, Spanish, and art, complement a study hall option.

CHARACTER GROWTH

A joyful, engaged learning environment is built upon four community pillars: integrity, initiative, compassion, and determination. Starting with “I am bold and creative” and ending with “I don’t give up,” our School Creed anchors shared aspirations and is woven into weekly community meetings, advisory programming, and daily interactions.

FAMILY PARTNERSHIP

Students thrive when we partner closely with families. We foster vibrant engagement through Celebrations of Learning, volunteer opportunities, monthly Family Connection meetings, and other community events. Regular conferences and surveys ensure we are listening to each other and sharing a coordinated message with students.

FULL-NEED SCHOLARSHIPS

Harlem Academy provided more than $5.5 million in financial aid last year. Scholarships cover not only teachers and the core program but also everything a student needs to succeed, including books, supplies, field trips, arts, athletics, after-school enrichment, technology, breakfast, lunch, and snacks.

The Journey Continues

Our secondary school placement program is a three-year collaboration between students, families, and the school, beginning in sixth grade. Personalized advising, boarding school visits, and interview and test preparation help ensure each student is matched with a school that will challenge and support them in their continued academic and personal growth.

Anais Marston ’14 always loved drawing, math, and organizing spaces. “Even as a little kid, I would take my apartment apart and put it back together,” she laughs.

When she joined Harlem Academy in middle school, that unique combination found a new creative outlet, particularly in science class. “I’ll always remember after a physics project that excited me, my teacher suggested I pursue a career in STEM. That was the first time I’d considered it.”

Reflecting on her time at Harlem Academy, Anais adds, “I was engaged in a way I’d never really been before. Even as a middle schooler, I could tell this felt different – it was fun, and my teachers were truly trying to help us learn.” That early encouragement planted a seed. Today, Anais is a project designer at The Brooklyn Studio, where she recently began her professional career in architecture.

FINDING HER PATH

After Harlem Academy, Anais attended the Spence School and then enrolled at

From day one, Sixth Street has been more than a funder. The firm has been a true partner in Harlem Academy’s mission to drive equity of opportunity, and a strong alignment of values has fueled a deep, multifaceted relationship.

STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP

Kristofer Rodgers, managing director at Sixth Street, first connected with Harlem Academy as a weekly mentor in 2010, and his enthusiasm for the school’s mission quickly grew. He became a founding member of the junior board in 2015 and recently joined the school’s board of trustees, where he now serves on the investment committee.

“The energy of the place grabs hold of you,” Kris says. “The caliber of the students – not just intellectually, but as people – is extraordinary. The more time I spend at the school, the more involved I want to be.”

Joshua Easterly, co-founding partner and co-president of Sixth Street, is also deeply engaged, serving on Harlem

Academy’s Advisory Council. Under his leadership, the firm has made transformational contributions to both the annual fund and endowment, helping to secure the school’s long-term sustainability.

Kris explained that Sixth Street approaches philanthropy with the same lens they bring to all their investments. “Harlem Academy is a true steward of capital. They are thoughtful about every dollar they spend,” he says. “But it’s more than that. We believe we’re investing in the highest-impact cohort of students at the highest-impact point in the educational lifecycle – and the return is exponential.”

PROGRAMMATIC PARTNERSHIP

Sixth Street’s support extends far beyond financial contributions. This year, the firm partnered with Harlem Academy to launch a week-long financial literacy seminar for sixth graders, culminating in a hands-on symposium at their Midtown offices.

Students explored the relationship between risk and return, evaluated real-world companies, and engaged with professionals across the firm, from investment professionals to coders to lawyers. “We had a blast making finance and investing relatable for students,” says Kris.

“Although New York City is the global epicenter of finance and the city’s largest industry, many students have never been exposed to all the career paths it offers. By introducing students early to what it’s like to work in our industry, we’re planting seeds for the next generation to pursue careers in finance.” In the coming years, the program will expand to seventh and eighth grade.

VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT

Sixth Street employees volunteer at Harlem Academy throughout the year, from helping younger students select new books for their home libraries during Personal Library Days to conducting mock interviews with middle schoolers preparing for secondary school admissions.

A standout moment came when Mark Abreu ’16, now a senior at Morehouse College, returned for a Personal Library Day as an investing intern on Sixth Street’s Credit Market Strategy Team. “It was powerful,” Kris recalls. “You could see the elementary students light up when they heard Mark had gone to Harlem Academy. He made the path visible – and we’re proud to be part of that.”

The Year in Review

Expanding Our Impact

Annual scholarship contributions reached $5.5 million, while our endowment grew to $10 million. These milestones, made possible by the generosity of our donors, strengthen the school’s foundation and ensure lasting opportunities for our students.

Financial Performance

On behalf of the members of the Board of Trustees, I am pleased to share Harlem Academy’s financial performance for fiscal year 20242025.

Charitable donations provide more than 85% of the school’s annual operating budget, ensuring full-need scholarships to every student. Thank you for generously supporting our mission, our students, and the transformational opportunity Harlem Academy creates.

Welcome to the Board

Kristofer Rodgers is a managing director at Sixth Street, where he has worked since 2017. Prior to that, he held roles at J.P. Morgan, Och-Ziff Capital Management, Silver Point Capital, and Morgan Stanley. Since 2018, Kris has served as a trustee and the finance committee chair for the Academy of St. Joseph, a small independent school in the West Village. He earned his B.A. in economics from Georgetown University and is a graduate of Regis High School.

Kris has been deeply involved with Harlem Academy since 2010, beginning as a volunteer for its Saturday Club. He was a founding member of the school’s junior board and, over the past decade, has served as a mentor, volunteer, and key liaison between Harlem Academy and Sixth Street, helping to drive both philanthropic support and employee engagement.

21 Years of Service...and Counting

When Mary Ganzenmuller first joined Harlem Academy’s board, the school was just an idea on paper. No students, no teachers – just a bold vision and belief in what we could be. She knew right away that this was something she wanted to help bring to life.

Mary threw herself into the work. As a trustee, she had a rare gift for knowing when to push harder and when to pause. She never hesitated to speak up, ask tough questions, or offer a different perspective – even when it would have been easier to quietly agree.

In Mary’s own words, “The school is about hope and how it becomes a reality. It is about the most wonderful and devoted people. I am so lucky to have witnessed this — even luckier to be able to call this project, in very small part, mine.”

Mary’s commitment to excellence has never wavered. Though she recently stepped down from the board, she didn’t step away. Instead, she reimagined her role, continuing her service as a volunteer working with middle schoolers on their writing, a member of our Advisory Council, and a tireless advocate for the school she helped to build.

Harlem Academy’s curriculum, small classes, supportive teachers, and the value placed on being curious really allowed me to grow.”
