Village Academies was founded on the belief that education can change the lives of our children - and can change the course of history. We are building a network of high quality, public charter schools in Harlem, New York. Harlem is the historical epicenter of our country's civil rights movement, home to legendary activists and extraordinary leaders. Our generation must carry on the work of the civil rights movement - by ensuring that all children have equal access to quality education.
Quality public education is an essential human right; it is the ultimate civil right. At Village Academies, we maintain rigorous standards, as we believe that all children can achieve at high levels, regardless of socio-economic background. While students enroll in Village Academies by open lottery, two to four years or more behind grade level, they go on to achieve test scores that rank higher than New York City and New York State public schools.
The revolution is happening here, and our community of friends is growing. We deeply believe that if we can change Harlem, we can change the world. Please join us.
