Community Health Academy of The Heights

What Community Health Academy of The Heights does

Community Health Academy of the Heights (CHAH; DOE code M346) is a public 6-12 Community Learning PROSE School located at 504 West 158th Street in Northern Manhattan, New York City. It is operated under the NYC Department of Education and is affiliated with New Visions for Public Schools, a nonprofit educational organization that supports and manages public schools in New York City. CHAH serves middle and high school students (grades 6 through 12) enrolled via the standard NYC DOE public school assignment process, drawing from a defined Northern Manhattan catchment area. As a public school, it charges no tuition and is funded through public education budgets rather than commercial revenue; the entity does not generate revenue in the conventional sense and has no disclosed financials.

The school's offering portfolio comprises grade-specific academic programs (with homework portals and staff directories organized by grade team), a comprehensive athletics program spanning Co-Ed Cross Country, volleyball, soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, golf, and middle school athletics, the CHAH Phoenix student-run newspaper (chahphoenix.com), a College Office supporting college preparation, scholarships, and applications, a Library & Media Center with virtual access and the GALE Group Database, an on-site Healthcare Clinic providing medical services and social supports, and Programs & Internships for career exploration. The school's distinctive theme is a community-health academy focus integrated with the on-site clinic. CHAH maintains a roster of strategic partnerships supporting college access and career exposure, including New Visions, Baruch College, Brookfield Private Wealth (via Limitless Achievement NYC), LaGuardia Community College, CityTech, Five Iron Golf, C.L.O.T.H., and Shared Lane Organization.

CHAH is a non-commercial, government/state-affiliated educational entity. It has no proprietary technology stack, no AI/ML capabilities, no funding rounds, no investors, no M&A activity, and no ownership in the private-equity or venture-capital sense. Its 12 documented graduating cohorts (#CHAHclassof2015 through #CHAHclassof2026) reflect continuous multi-year operational throughput. Marketing and community communications are conducted through the school's website (chah.nyc), the CHAH Phoenix newspaper, school blog, and social media hashtags tied to graduating classes. Because the entity is publicly funded and tuition-free, conventional SaaS-style revenue mechanics, pricing models, go-to-market motions, and customer-concentration metrics are not applicable.
