Leadership

The board of trustees is the guardian of Harlem Academy’s mission. Our trustees play a critical role in ensuring financial viability, setting strategic direction, and evaluating effectiveness.

Harlem Academy’s board of trustees consists of independent school leaders, philanthropists, and businesspeople. Trustees are active at the school, regularly joining community meetings, participating in admissions, and attending capstone celebrations of learning. At annual retreats, the board revisits how each individual perceives the mission and how it connects to his or her service to the school.

A number of Harlem Academy volunteers help move the school forward through leadership roles on the following vital committees: committee on trustees, communications committee, education committee, finance and audit committee, and strategic planning and facilities committee.
