Help Our Students Achieve Their Goals Through the Start to Finish Program
I have had the honor of being a part of the Harlem Link Charter School community for the past fifteen years. At Harlem Link, we celebrate our students from their very first day of school, all the way through their graduations and into their careers.
As a Pre-K through 5th grade elementary school, we understand that our success is measured by how well our students thrive as adults. Our commitment goes beyond academics; we cultivate lasting relationships, nurture individual talents, and provide enriching programs that equip our students for life after Harlem Link. Our alumni play a vital role in our community, inspiring current students to reach for their dreams. Our vibrant alumni network not only offers leadership opportunities and admissions guidance, but also hosts regular reunions and events, fostering a strong sense of community. We’re proud that ten of our alumni have returned to Harlem Link to work as staff members.
Last year, the support of generous donors like you made this resource available at no cost to students, families, and our 770 alumni. We were able to provide over 1,300 hours of guidance in middle school admissions preparation. We reconnected with our 8th and 11th graders at their alumni reunions to prepare for high school and college admissions. We launched our first College Day and Career Day, with representatives speaking to each classroom of students. The outcome of an excellent education with these additional supports is that our alumni graduate high school at a 14% higher rate than their peers, attend college at a 16% higher rate, and complete undergraduate degrees at double the rate of other students in their demographic. Some of our first alumni are now in law school and masters degree programs, dancing on Broadway, and serving in their community.
