Neighborhood Charter Schools are high performing, free and public schools. Opened in August 2012 in Harlem, NCS provides a rich, challenging K-8 program that cultivates the intellectual, social and emotional development of each child. We are proud of our fully inclusive program for autistic students who make up approximately 15% of our student body.

What our families are saying

“In the short amount of time, my daughter was able to fit in perfectly and expresses this is the best school she has attended.”
“I appreciate everyone at this school from the lovely ladies in the front office to the teachers and staff that are in my kids' lives and assisting them. Thank you, Mrs Croker”
“I want to personally thank Ms. Redavid she goes above and beyond her job for my daughter and I'm sure everyone else's children as well she is amazing and her work ethic shows how much she truly loves what she does.”
“My son has been in this school since first grade and I'm grateful for all the support given through these years.”
“I very much appreciate this school and everything they have done for my child. Without their years of expertise, kindness and guidance I don't know how we would have managed. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for all you do.”
“Mis hijos y yo como madre estamos muy satisfechos con TODA la escuela en general, desde los programas y manera de enseñar hasta la amabilidad y disponibilidad de cada uno de los que conforman la escuela exelente equipo TODOS!”
