As the founding Principal of Storefront Academy Harlem, I warmly welcome all returning families, new families, and visitors to our community. Alongside Ms. Fisher, our dedicated Assistant Principal, we are passionate about educating and nurturing the whole child. At Storefront Academy, we go beyond academics, fostering a supportive environment where every scholar feels valued and empowered to achieve their best.

We proudly meet the diverse needs of our students, ensuring every child—whether excelling academically, facing challenges, or learning English—has the opportunity to grow. Guided by our Core Values—Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, Concern for Others, Diligence, and Perseverance—we shape a culture of integrity and mutual respect.
Our vision is bold: to create a rigorous, joyful learning environment that prepares scholars for success in high school, college, and life. We invite you to visit and experience the joy, growth, and excellence that define Storefront Academy Harlem.
