A Tiny Faith-Based Haven in East Harlem
Families seeking a small, faith-based elementary education in East Harlem who value community intimacy over programmatic breadth. Particularly well-suited for families who want their children to learn in a setting that reflects their own cultural background and who appreciate the personal attention that comes with an extremely tight-knit school of just a couple dozen students.
- Tiny enrollment of just 23 students creates an intimate, family-like environment
- Assembly of God religious affiliation provides faith-based framework and values education
- Strong representation of the local Black and Hispanic community
- Very high family density in the surrounding neighborhood (93/100)
- Very small size means limited extracurricular options and social flexibility
- With only 1.4 FTE teachers, resources are extremely constrained
- The 16.4:1 ratio is higher than many progressive private schools — not a hyper-small class environment
- Religious affiliation may or may not align with all families' values
- Commute from outside East Harlem could be lengthy

East Harlem (North) is a vibrant, historically working-class neighborhood in Manhattan with deep Puerto Rican and Black roots. It's known for its street life, local restaurants, and community feel. The area has seen waves of change in recent years, but retains its identity as a place where families have lived for generations. The neighborhood's family density score of 93/100 tells you everything — this is a place where kids play on the sidewalks and neighbors recognize each other.
