The board of trustees is the guardian of Harlem Academy’s mission. It is the board’s responsibility to ensure that the mission is relevant and vital to the community it serves, to monitor the success of the school in fulfilling its mission, and to support and promote the mission in the broader community. The board of trustees is responsible for setting the school’s vision and a strategic plan for realizing the vision. Trustees ensure that their efforts – individually and collaboratively – contribute to the execution of the strategic plan and realization of the vision.

The advisory council complements the work of the board within a more informal structure. Each member lends their wisdom, endorsement, and philanthropy toward the continued realization of our mission and vision. 

The junior board is a group of young professionals passionate about Harlem Academy. Their goals are to help move the mission forward, cultivate a base of supporters who are committed to our students, and serve as volunteers.
