East Harlem Tutorial Program (EHTP) began in 1958 as a children's reading group and has since grown into a multi‑site after-school program for traditional public school students and a network of public charter schools focused on significantly increasing the college graduation rate in East Harlem. We are on track to serve at least 25% of East Harlem students by 2025, with enrollment for this year at approximately 2,200 students in our schools and after‑school programs.

In 2020, 99% of our seniors were accepted to college, and our current scholars in college are on‑track to graduate at eight times the national average of their peers.
At EHTP we also aim to serve as an agent of change and thoughtfully contribute to the national fight for racial equity. Through our organization‑wide commitment to anti‑racism work, we prepare our scholars to effect change, challenge the status quo, and thrive in the world around them. As staff members, we face our own racial identities and conscious and unconscious biases.

With this in mind, all of our professional development, curriculum, organizational materials, and processes are designed with a goal of racial justice.
We ground all of our work in racial equity,
in our core values
, and in our four guiding pursuits: the Revolutionary Pursuit of Love, the Radical Pursuit of Knowledge, the Responsive Pursuit of Healing, and the Relentless Pursuit of Results. These pursuits inform and are reflected in our current four key strategic priorities: to increase high‑impact, high‑quality academic curriculum, programming content, staff capacity, and coaching; to embrace and advance our use of technology;

to deepen our embodiment of ethical and equitable radical humanity; and to efficiently operationalize teaching, learning, community, and care.
