East Harlem Scholars Academy Elementary School II

What does an early-learning campus do two blocks above East 126th? East Harlem Scholars Academy Elementary School II keeps classes small while expanding core skills in literacy, math, science and art; they also coordinate after-school programming so parents can finish the day free of childcare worries. Founded to plug local kids into citywide opportunities, the school has become a classroom-level landmark within the neighborhood’s wider education network.

The main doors are at 1573 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10029, one wide brownstone over from Callahan’s. Questions about tours?
