Who We Are

East Harlem Scholars Academies are community-based Pre-K to 12 public charter schools operated by East Harlem Tutorial Program (EHTP). EHTP began in 1958 as a children's reading group and has since grown into a multi-site after‑school program for traditional public school students and a network of public charter schools focused on significantly increasing the college graduation rate in East Harlem.

At EHTP we also aim to serve as an agent of change and thoughtfully contribute to the national fight for racial equity. Through our organization‑wide commitment to anti‑racism work, we prepare our scholars to effect change, challenge the status quo, and thrive in the world around them. As staff members, we face our own racial identities and conscious and unconscious biases. With this in mind, all of our professional development, curriculum, organizational materials, and processes are designed with a goal of racial justice.

We ground all of our work in racial equity,in our core values (Service, Courage, Humility, Originality, Leadership, Achievement, and Reflection), and in our five guiding principles: 1) all children can and will succeed when provided a great education; 2) the best learning occurs when children engage in higher-order, critical thinking; 3) a nurturing and supportive environment supports students' love of learning and of themselves; 4) self-awareness promotes dynamic leadership and global understanding; 5) active community engagement richly enhances educational opportunities. These principles inform and are reflected in our current four key strategic priorities: to increase high-impact, high-quality academic curriculum, programming content, staff capacity, and coaching; to embrace and advance our use of technology; to deepen our embodiment of ethical and equitable radical humanity; and to efficiently operationalize teaching, learning, community, and care.
