HARRIET TUBMAN CHARTER SCHOOL

Harriet Tubman Charter School (HTCS), located in the Morrisania section of the Bronx, is a K-8 public charter school dedicated to providing a rigorous, college-preparatory education to students in an underserved community. Named in honor of the legendary abolitionist and humanitarian, the school emphasizes the values of perseverance, leadership, and academic excellence. Its instructional model is designed to close the achievement gap by fostering a structured, supportive environment where students are challenged to meet high academic standards while developing the character traits necessary for long-term success.

The school’s curriculum is balanced with a focus on both foundational skills in literacy and mathematics and the enrichment of the "whole child" through arts, physical education, and social-emotional learning. By maintaining a strong partnership with families and the surrounding Bronx community, HTCS aims to cultivate students who are not only prepared for competitive high schools but are also empowered to become engaged, civic-minded individuals. Through its commitment to a "college-bound" culture, the school strives to ensure that every student has the tools and confidence to navigate their educational journey beyond their time at the 3rd Avenue campus.
