Family partnership in the development and operation of Harlem Academy is organized around four steering committees.   

The Admissions Committee participates in the many stages of the admissions process: evaluating admissions protocol, assisting in admissions outreach, presenting at admissions information sessions, and participating in admissions interviews. 

The Development Committee plans several fundraising events and partners with other volunteers to ensure the success of the Annual Spring Benefit and Climb for HA (cycling event).  The committee coordinates and leads by example with a variety of volunteer needs from hosting receptions to putting together mailings. 

The Hiring Committee participates in the hiring of all teachers by: reviewing candidate resumes, interviewing potential teachers and observing their demonstration lessons, and presenting feedback to school administration for decision making.  Harlem Academy is proud to say that every teacher on our outstanding staff has been vetted by teachers, school administrators, and this committee. 

The Outreach Committee ensures productive partnership among attending families, the school, and our community by organizing off-site family or adult events, assisting in planning for Harlem Academy Game Nights and workshop series, researching and sharing information about relevant community events for families, and researching and sharing information about community service opportunities for Harlem Academy students.
