Promise Academy Charter Schools

Going beyond the walls of the classroom

photo_promise_academyThe Promise Academy Charter Schools were created as a partnership with Harlem Children’s Zone, Inc. to directly impact the centerpiece of a child’s educational life.

The mission is to give children in Harlem a high-quality, well-rounded education. To do so, the schools have assembled talented, loving staffs that create a safe, enriching environment where children know they are cared about and that there are high expectations of them.

The children at the three Promise Academy schools have an extended school day and year, giving them the time they need to master basic skills as well as explore the arts and sciences. To make sure they are ready for the rigors of the school day, the students receive healthy, freshly made meals each day and they have daily physical activity.

The school staff works hand-in-hand with the after-school staff, which offer the students academic help, as well as various classes - from chess to music; from photography to web design. There is also a Saturday Academy for children who need additional help with their English and math skills.
