MissionThe mission of Harlem Children's Zone Promise Academy Charter School (HCZ Promise Academy) is to provide high quality, standards-based academic programs for students, grades K-12, from underserved communities and underperforming school districts, and to provide students with the skills they need to be accepted by and succeed in college. HCZ Promise Academy promotes high achievement in all subjects through a demanding curriculum, extensive supportive services and the use of data-driven teaching methods. HCZ Promise Academy is committed to promoting academic accomplishment, positive character development, healthy lifestyles and leadership skills. In partnership with the Harlem Children's Zone, HCZ Promise Academy addresses the educational and developmental needs of each student.MissionDesc

DescFollowing New York State's adoption of the Common Core State Standards and new state tests in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math for grades 3-8 in 2013, test scores fell across the state. In 2014, students of HCZ Promise Academy outperformed the local community school district 5 (CSD 5) in both Math and ELA and demonstrated growth in Math, outperforming the proficiency rate of NYC and NYS. HCZ Promise Academy students had a proficiency rate of 22% on the NYS ELA exam, exceeding the rate of 15% for CSD 5. In Math, 37% of the HCZ Promise Academy students were proficient, compared to 15% of students in CSD 5, 34% of students in NYC, and 36% of students in NYS. Additionally, after only one or two years in high school the current cohorts of Promise Academy high school students have already out performed the NYS four-year passage rate for math and science regents exams: 92% of the HCZ Promise II Class of 2017 and 96% of the Class of 2016 have already passed a regents exam in math, compared to 84% for the NYS Class of 2013; and 98% of the HCZ Promise II Classes of 2017 and 2016 have already passed a regents exam in science, compared to 82% for the NYS Class of 2013. Our high school has partnered with the Bard Early College Program and the Princeton Review. Our partnership with Bard informs our daily practice in the classroom. Teachers learn methods that help to increase the rigor of their daily lessons. The Princeton Review, a comprehensive prep tool, allows students to hone their test-taking skills with in-class extensive practice and drills. We believe that all children should have the same basic and equal starting point from which to grow. That is why our pipeline of services is so important for our families, as are the additional services we offer to children and their families as an organization, such as healthy and hearty nutrition, access to health and mental health services, foster care prevention, and a safe and nurturing place to be in during after-school, weekend and summer hours. HCZ Promise Academy's pipeline of services ensures that our students begin on the same playing field as children from more affluent communities across the country. Part of the HCZ Promise Academy mission is to "provide students with the skills they need to be accepted by and succeed in college". One of the ways in which the school achieves this is by having an extended school year and extended days, so that students may benefit from spending increased time in structured and productive academic environments. HCZ Promise Academy has an academic year of 202 days, surpassing the 180 days required by law. Additionally, our school days run from 8 AM to 4 PM, with a robust after-school program from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The additional time students are required to spend in school is vital, as it allows the time necessary for a more extensive academic curriculum. Research has proven that there is a direct correlation between an extended year/days and increased academic achievement because it improves student motivation and narrows the achievement gap. At HCZ Promise Academy, students are expected to attend the school's mandatory 15-20 day summer program to be able to keep up with the demanding curriculum and take full advantage of the extensive supportive services. We have also made sure that the children have access to the best and latest education technology, including computer labs, smart boards in the classroom and computer-based assessment software. Because of our longer school day, we are also able to ensure that our students learn about the arts, in part through a unique partnership we have with Jazz at Lincoln Center.Desc

ExplanationPursuant to the terms of a commitment letter between Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ) and the Promise Academy, HCZ, as the School's Institutional Partner, committed to provide the Academy, during the initial five-year term of its charter, certain services at no cost. The Charter School has renewed its commitment letter with Harlem Children's Zone for an additional five year period that runs through June, 2019. These services include financial management, social, library, technology, fundraising, public relations, and teaching assistance services. In addition, HCZ committed to provide the School with the use of space in its premises located at 35 East 125th Street, New York, NY. The amount reported for in-kind contributions for the year ending June 30, 2014 totals $4,619,482. Included within the $4,619,482 of gifts-in-kind is donated food of $782,565. The donated food is reported on Part VIII, Line 1(g) and on Schedule M. HCZ maintains a 457(f) plan for certain eligible employees of the School.

The amounts contributed vest five years after the date of the initial contribution and will then be paid to eligible employees when vested. HCZ provides the School with an annual subsidy to cover this cost by contributing to a HCZ investment account. During fiscal 2013, HCZ provided a subsidy of $903,000 for the fiscal 2013 contribution to the 457(f) plan.ExplanationTxt
