At a Glance

A Tiny Faith-Based Elementary School in South Harlem

Best suited for

Families seeking a small, faith-based elementary education in Harlem who value extremely personalized attention and are comfortable with a racially homogeneous student body. Best for parents who want their children in a intimate, Christian environment where every teacher knows every student by name.

What stands out
  • Extremely small scale with only 7 students total creates a highly personalized environment
  • Student-teacher ratio of 2.3:1 means exceptional individual attention per child
  • Assembly of God religious affiliation provides faith-based educational foundation
  • Pre-K through 5th grade combined in one school offers continuity for families
Things to consider
  • Very small enrollment may limit extracurricular offerings and social opportunities for students
  • 100% Black student body means no racial diversity in the classroom
  • Limited scale may affect ability to offer specialized programs or advanced coursework
  • As a religious school, curriculum will include religious instruction — families should align with this approach
  • Tiny size means the school may face sustainability questions
IdentityThe Assembly Of God Affiliation Indicates A Pentecostal Christian Educational Philosophy, With Likely Emphasis On Spiritual Development Alongside Academic Learning. The Extremely Small Scale Suggests A Family-Like Atmosphere Where Each Child Receives Significant Individual Attention.

A small Christian elementary school with an Assembly of God religious foundation, serving Pre-K through 5th grade with an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio due to tiny enrollment.

CommunityHomogeneous
