The school offers merit-based admissions, cultivates strong family partnerships, and ensures its economic diversity by meeting all demonstrated need for tuition support. false false 2162762 Harlem Academy is an accredited independent school that introduces high-potential children from low-income communities to an advanced academic environment. Our goal is to go beyond simply overcoming the disparities facing low-income children; we seek to launch students academic careers by providing opportunities for personal growth,unleashing their creativity,and challenging students at every turn. Founded in 2004, Harlem Academy has added a grade every year and now serves 111 students in first through eighth grade.At the foundation of Harlem Academys model is a dedication to rigorous academics, character development, and family partnership. The school is open from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., providing ample time for a challenging program, an advisory period, after-school tutoring and enrichment, and athletics. In 2012, first-year students at Harlem Academy saw an average 12 percentile-point increase on nationally standardized tests. One-quarter of our students scored in the top 10% of the nation in English and a third scored in the top 5% nationwide in mathematics. Ninety-four percent of students scored above the national average.In addition, in 2012, Harlem Academy had its inaugural graduating class. Every graduating student earned admission to a secondary school where they will continue to grow and build upon their success at Harlem Academy. Students from the Class of 2012 accepted offers to attend top day schools, such as Grace Church, Riverdale, and Trevor; boarding schools, including Church Farm (PA), Peddie (NJ), Purnell (NJ), and Stony Brook (NY); and selective Catholic and public schools, with students slated to attend Aquinas, Cardinal Hayes, St. Jean Baptiste, The Academy for Software Engineering, The Facing History School, and Humanities Prep. Harlem Academys inaugural graduating class accepted more than $300,000 in annual secondary school scholarships.In 2012, Harlem Academy provided over $2.3 million in tuition support to low-income students. Harlem Academy admission decisions are need-blind, based solely on a students potential for growth in our advanced academic environment. The school then meets each familys full financial need to ensure that every admitted student can attend. The average Harlem Academy family is able to cover only about 10% of the cost of their childs education, with the rest coming from charitable giving by individuals, foundations, and corporations. 2162762 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true false true true false true false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 9 0 true 33 true false false false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false X 15 15 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true false false true true false false X X X Leonard Smith 2123482600 1330 Fifth Avenue New York NY 10026 Hillary Thomas 5.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Sillerman 5.00 X 0 0 0 Valarie Hing 5.00 X 0 0 0 Alan Washington 5.00 X 0 0 0 Timothy Speiss 5.00 X 0 0 0 John Schmidlin 5.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Reycraft 5.00 X 0 0 0 David Peterson 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Ann MacRae 5.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Johnston 5.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Ganzenmuller 5.00 X 0 0 0 Will Cook 5.00 X 0 0 0 Pam Clarke 5.00 X 0 0 0 Jay Bargmann 5.00 X 0 0 0 Tony Asnes 5.00 X 0 0 0 Vincent Dotoli 60.00 X 146875 0 11080 Stanton Orser 60.00 X 102225 0 3395 249100 14475 2 false true false 0 448141 68953 1664531 2181625 Program income and fees 339118 339118 339118 495 495 0 0 0 0 69338 448141 69338 0 0 0 0 2521238 339118 495 0 0 0 0 263575 85199 37726 140650 0 1115714 967548 90065 58101 18875 15337 1313 2225 145500 118226 10122 17152 102787 83519 7151 12117 0 0 0 0 0 0 116124 38928 21060 56136 27492 10153 17339 0 0 0 449001 427320 5812 15869 0 0 0 0 0 73186 69652 947 2587 40416 33236 2086 5094 Printing and Publications 35946 33632 2314 Miscellaneous 36077 19341 16736 Education 83901 83901 Food 84080 84080 136154 112031 3204 20919 2728828 2162762 198827 367239 522349 453932 409283 524775 1014472 812315 24574 27877 0 0 0 0 59251 48771 554881 460175 109540 94706 0 0 0 0 99936 114427 2239405 2076803 79957 118369 18728 25304 98685 143673 X 1081482 1199517 1059238 732513 1100 2140720 1933130 2239405 2076803 -207590 X false true true X false false X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 429727 364153 65574 125154 96022 29132 94706 Security Deposit 114427 114427 2521238 2728828 -207590 -207590 2529738 8500 8500 2521238 2521238 2737328 8500 8500 2728828 2728828 Part X Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Academy has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
