Who We Are
East Harlem Scholars Academies are communitybased PreK to 12 public charter schools operated by East Harlem Tutorial Program (EHTP). EHTP began in 1958 as a childrens reading group and has since grown into a multisite afterschool program for traditional public school students and a network of public charter schools focused on significantly increasing the college graduation rate in East Harlem. We are on track to serve at least 25 of East Harlem students by 2025 with enrollment for this year at approximately 2200 students in our schools and after school programs. In 2020 99 of our seniors were accepted to college and our current scholars in college are ontrack to graduate at eight times the national average of their peers.
At EHTP we also aim to serve as an agent of change and thoughtfully contribute to the national fight for racial equity. Through our organizationwide commitment to antiracism 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. Read our racial equity statement here.
