East Harlem Tutorial Program

What East Harlem Tutorial Program does

East Harlem Tutorial Program (EHTP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization founded in 1958 in East Harlem, New York City, operating a unified portfolio of tuition-free programs spanning early childhood through college completion. Its core offering is the East Harlem Scholars Academies, a network of five public charter schools (two elementary, two middle, one high school) across three campuses serving approximately 1,400-1,500 students annually, supplemented by Out-of-School Time after-school and summer programs, the College Scholars post-secondary success program advising students through graduation, and the East Harlem Teaching Residency — a paid teacher training pathway developed in partnership with Hunter College School of Education since 2014.

The organization's technology stack centers on licensed educational tools rather than proprietary systems: i-Ready adaptive diagnostic testing from Curriculum Associates provides reading and math proficiency tracking across grades K-12, while STEM programming is delivered through the FIRST Robotics framework (Team 1880 Warriors, three-time Championship qualifier and 2026 Championship Impact Award winner) and hands-on 3D printing, coding, and applied engineering projects. A new 70,000-square-foot high school building opened in 2024 — the first new public high school facility in East Harlem in over 60 years — consolidating the network into a Pre-K-12 vertical campus, though the organization announced a 2026 restructuring to compress from three campuses to two.

Revenue mechanics are nonprofit-multistream: NYC Department of Education per-pupil charter funding is layered with foundation grants (Bloomberg Philanthropies at the $100K+ tier, Simons Foundation historic Campaign for East Harlem gifts, Robin Hood Foundation), corporate sponsorships (Goldman Sachs, among 100+ partners), individual giving across a structured recognition pyramid, and event fundraising anchored by the annual Build Love celebration ($1.89M-$1.9M recent gross) and the 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament ($180K in December 2025). Admissions are managed via the SchoolMint application system with stated preferences for East Harlem residents, NYCHA residents, multilingual learners, and siblings/staff children. The organization is governed by an independent Board of Trustees and is not owned by or affiliated with any parent or holding entity.
