To provide youth who struggle in traditional learning environments, including students with disabilities, with the tools needed to excel academically, emotionally and socially in all aspects of life.
Our History
Founded in 2004 as a middle school, Opportunity Charter School (OCS) was created to meet the growing educational needs of the Harlem community, where access to a quality education for students faced with learning disabilities and socioeconomic barriers were unmet. Since its inception, OCS has been a model institution for providing innovative academic programming for both special needs and general education students, including those at risk of academic failure. In 2009, OCS opened a high school and now serves approximately 420 students in grades 6 through 12.
