Info

New Heights Academy Charter School (M353) is a charter school in Harlem, New York City, New York for grades 5 - 12, located at 1818 Amsterdam Avenue. It is within the New York City Department of Education.
The students originate from Harlem, Inwood, and Washington Heights.
New Heights Academy Charter School was founded in 2006 to provide a college preparatory education in a safe and nurturing environment to students in grades 5-12 living in Harlem, Washington Heights and Inwood. Washington Heights in particular was lacking in high school options for students entering 9th grade, so the opening of New Heights provided these students with the opportunity to attend high school in their own neighborhood. New Heights embodies the PRIDE pillars of Perseverance, Responsibility, Integrity, Discipline and Enthusiasm. The mission of New Heights Academy Charter School is to graduate students who are prepared to succeed in college and life.
As of 2011 it was the largest charter school in New York City.
