At a Glance
A tiny, parent-partnered Christian school built on biblical foundations in East Harlem
Best suited for
Christian families — particularly those drawn to or comfortable with Assembly of God theology — who want an intimate, parent-partnered elementary education with a biblical worldview and are prepared to find a new middle school placement after 5th grade.
What stands out
- Exceptionally small enrollment of 23 students, with an average class size of about six
- Parent-partnered educational model that treats parents as primary educators
- Biblically-based Christian worldview integration across all subjects
- College preparatory curriculum starting at the elementary level
- Tuition range of $425–$475 is dramatically lower than typical NYC private elementary schools
Things to consider
- Total enrollment of 23 students means a very limited peer group for socialization
- Assembly of God affiliation requires families to be comfortable with that specific Christian tradition
- School only goes through 5th grade — families will need a new placement for middle school
- With only 1.4 FTE teachers, the faculty is extremely small
- The very low tuition range is unusual for a private school; parents should clarify what it covers and whether there are additional fees
- Limited extracurricular offerings are likely given the small size
Identity
King's Academy identifies as a biblically-grounded Christian elementary school affiliated with the Assembly of God tradition. The school is intentionally small and treats parents as central partners in their children's education, weaving a biblical worldview into every aspect of the curriculum from Pre-K onward.
Community
With only 23 students enrolled, this is one of the smallest schools in the dataset. The community is predominantly Black (about 87%) with a Hispanic minority (about 13%). The intimate size means families are likely to know one another well and have direct relationships with teachers and leadership.
Neighborhood
The school sits in northern East Harlem, a working-class neighborhood where the median household income is around $36,709 and just under a third of residents hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The poverty rate in the surrounding area is high at 33.2%, which helps explain the unusually low tuition structure at the school.
The 125 St station (4, 5, 6 lines) is about a four-minute walk away, giving families relatively quick subway access. The 138 St-Grand Concourse (4, 5) and 3 Av-138 St (6) stations are each about a twelve-minute walk, providing additional transit options.
