EHTP aims to serve as an agent of change and thoughtfully contribute to the national fight for racial equity.

East Harlem Tutorial Program (EHTP) began in 1958 as a children's reading group and has since grown into a multi-site after-school program for public school students and a network of charter schools focused on significantly increasing the college graduation rate in East Harlem.

Our Mission

EHTP prepares students with academic skills, strength of character, and emotional well-being to excel academically lead in their communities and realize their best possible selves. To read EHTP’s racial equity statement, please click here.

Our Hope

Students shouldn’t have to leave their neighborhood to access a great education. East Harlem is a vibrant community that has experienced extreme educational inequities resulting from systemic oppression and historical marginalization — which, in turn, affects college completion and unemployment rates.

We work in partnership with students and their families as they harness the limitless potential of East Harlem.

Our Programs

In addition to operating a network of Pre-K - 12th grade public charter schools in East Harlem, East Harlem Tutorial Program offers students in the community a variety of after-school programs for elementary, middle and high school scholars, in addition to support for college scholars and a teaching residency program to support new teachers from our communities.

Our Future

Campaign for East Harlem, Phase II: We are constructing a state-of-the-art high school that will become home to hundreds of students! The 70,000-square-foot building will include a full-size gym and auditorium, STEM labs, art and music rooms, and an event space open to the community.

Seize the moment with us! You can broaden educational opportunities for our scholars, and have a lasting impact in East Harlem for years to come.
