Harlem Success Academy Charter School is a free, public elementary school founded on a simple premise: Every child can succeed.

Our students are admitted through a random lottery but from the moment our children enter the door, nothing else is left to chance.

We are a public school run like a private school. Harlem Success Scholars are taught by the best teachers from around the country, their progress is assessed every 8 weeks, and all children who need it are given targeted one-on-one tutoring by highly-trained tutors to ensure they progress at the highest of levels.

Harlem Success Academy Charter School, which opened in August 2006 on 118th Street and Lenox Avenue, was the first of forty academically rigorous charter schools to be founded by The Success Charter Network.
