Breathe deeply here and weep not. Y. Nhat Chu, Taoist Mind-Shape Boxer

With this awareness of all I think, say, and do, I promise to honor and protect myself, my family, and all others. The East Harlem School Vow of the Warrior

Some of our students have no home. Others have a home but in that home they have no heat. Some have homes with heat that go fatherless. Others have homes that lie motherless. Some have homes of two parents with wages too low. And yet all of our students stand tall and grateful because they breathe deeply and promise to see things as they are - and then act accordingly. They are at home in their own skin.

An alumnus made Copenhagen his home for autumn semester. Our Dean Anne Ross, helped make a foster placement feel like a home - for a student likely to make a home for herself next year in a boarding school. Our 8th graders and alumni keep our school home open on weekends by strongly staffing our Saturday School. So everyone has a place here, a home here. Students rarely miss school, their home away from home. Our home here is a place where absence is avoided and really makes hearts grow fonder.

Every school should be refuge for the wanderer, and peace and calm should settle upon all who enter, so then they can do the work of wonder, which is the soul of education. Not only can you really take a deep breath in our building, we remind each other to do so in stillness, movement, and in our vow.

One score, some 20 years ago. The home we have built together, you and I, leaves me, in forgotten moments, breathless.

Thank you,

Ivan

Small school. BIG impact.Our mission: The East Harlem School at Exodus House is an independent middle school that serves students in grades 4-8 from low-income families in Harlem who exhibit an earnest desire to rise to their academic potential. EHS targets children from underserved families and then helps them develop academic excellence, moral integrity, courtesy, and an unshakable commitment to their future and the fate of their community. EHS provides an intensive year-round academic program over an extended school day (8:00AM-5:00PM) and offers a comprehensive learning experience for students through a challenging combination of academic, extracurricular, summer, travel, and alumni programs.

Our history: Exodus House has been an anchoring and iconic institution in Harlem since its founding in 1963 by Reverend Dr. Lynn and Mrs. Leola Hageman as a drug rehabilitation center. Due to a heightened concern for the welfare and well-being of the community’s many underserved, at-risk children, Exodus House was converted in 1984 to an after-school and summer program facility. Then, in the fall of 1993, inspired by the steadfast commitment of the Hagemans to the East Harlem community, the couple’s sons, Hans and Ivan, opened an independent year-round middle school on the original Exodus House site to better address the critical needs of these children and their families. Today, EHS is chartered by the New York State Department of Education and accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. The East Harlem School is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

The East Harlem School at Exodus House

The East Harlem School admits students of any race, color, gender, religion, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the School. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational polices, employment or hiring practices, financial aid or scholarship programs, athletic or other school-administered programs.

INTEGRATED EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Integrated into the extended school day (8:00AM - 5:00PM) are a number of extracurricular activities that complement and enrich academic coursework.

Athletics: The EHS Athletics program included interscholastic soccer, lacrosse, track, and intramural basketball. Teams focused on physical fitness, teamwork, and foundational skills to lead them in their development. On average, students participated in six hours of weekly physical activity. All 5th and 6th grade students attended weekly swimming lessons at Asphalt Green, and school-wide fitness classes took place at neighboring Wards Island, weather permitting! In the fall, a number of students participated in a voluntary after-school boot camp program to increase strength, stamina, and agility.

Drama: In its sixth year, our drama teacher continued to diversify and strengthen the curriculum. Each grade spent significant time preparing for the performance of a play at the end of the year. They memorized lines, learned about stage directions, and focused on embodying characters. Weekly memorization challenges were also incorporated into the program to encourage students to practice the skill of memorization as well as to help them learn famous works. The public speaking and leadership skills taught in drama work to further enhance students’ ease in all social situations, including interviewing, and will enable them to meet and communicate with a wide range of people.

Clubs: EHS students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of clubs, introducing them to numerous skills across disciplines. Continued club offerings included community service, chess, choir, yoga, and boot camp. New offerings included Dance and Hope Through Health, which helped to raise funds for medical services and programs in Togo.

SATURDAY SCHOOL

Thanks to an increase in volunteers, more than 50% of EHS students took advantage of this program throughout the year. Additionally, our 8th graders took a lead role in staffing Saturday School and provided additional tutoring support throughout the year.

2012-2013 Program Achievements

OUTDOOR EDUCATION AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENTIn August 2013, the rising 8th grade class traveled to the Mountain Institute in Circleville, West Virginia for and eight-day backpacking trip. Students learned self-sufficiency through lessons on cooking, camp-fire building and safety, tent building, and orienteering. They also participated in workshops to develop outdoor skills such as navigational skill-building (use of compass and orienteering, etc.) and to expand their knowledge about the plants, mountains, and culture of the Appalachia mountain community. This experience strengthened individual and collective leadership among our 8th graders and gave them a newfound appreciation for their families, friendships, and home communities. This trip was made possible by generous support from the RMLow Foundation and the Virginia Lopez Foundation.

SUMMER SESSIONThe Summer Semester is a critical component of The East Harlem School’s year-round educational program. In order to provide even more skill-building and enrichment opportunities, EHS students participated in a mandatory 5-week summer session in addition to the regular 10-month school year. Summer Session classes were taught by professional teachers and high school and college interns.

The theme for 2013 Summer Session was Compassion in Action. To explore this theme, the entire school read the new novel Wonder by RJ Palacio. This incredibly moving #1 New York Times Best Seller tells the story of Auggie Pulman, a boy from New York with a severely deformed face who goes to school for the first time in 5th grade. The novel follows the struggles and triumphs of his school experience through the voices of Auggie, his sister, his parents, and his classmates. Paired with the book, we are studying Compassion in Action in our morning workshops through an exploration of the work done by Paul Farmer, Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi, and Las Madres de La Plaza de Mayo.

ALUMNI PROGRAMThe EHS alumni program served all of its alumni in high school and college by providing counseling, assistance with the college application process, life-skills workshops, and internships. As in years past, an EHS staff member visited alumnus in high schools at their independent, public, and parochial schools. EHS staff contacted all juniors and seniors and assisted with the college application process, which includes speaking with college counselors at each high school, writing letters of recommendation, and taking alumni on college campus visits. We continue to offer the Brooks Fellowships for Community Service, which provides stipends for East Harlem School alumni who work in summer internships at non-profit and community-based organizations. This year, 19 EHS alumni were named Brooks Fellows and collectively completed over 3,400 hours of community service. This program is made possible by support from Diana and Michael Brooks.

WHOLE SCHOOL TIMEEHS offered a weekly “Whole School Time” speaker series to introduce students to a variety of professions, experiences, and important issues. Presenters during the 2012-2013 school year included:
