About the Company

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.
EHTP aims to serve as an agent of change and thoughtfully contribute to the national fight for racial equity.
Organization-wide commitment to anti-racism work prepares scholars to effect change, challenge the status quo, and thrive.
Professional development, curriculum, organizational materials, and processes are designed with a goal of racial justice.
Work is grounded in racial equity, core values (Service, Courage, Humility, Originality, Leadership, Achievement, and Reflection), and five guiding principles.
Four key strategic priorities: increase high-impact, high-quality academic curriculum, programming content, staff capacity, and coaching; embrace and advance technology use; deepen embodiment of ethical and equitable radical humanity; and efficiently operationalize teaching, learning, community, and care.
