Summer on the Hill Inc Co John P Mcivor

The mission of Summer on the Hill (SOH), a year-round, supplemental academic program, is to enrich the education of promising, low-income public school students from the Bronx, Washington Heights, and Harlem, prepare them for selective schools and colleges, and offer guidance to their parents. SOH is a unique NYC program that enrolls promising students at the elementary level and works with them through high school--for ten years. Each year, SOH challenges 250 students with accelerated academic classes, school and college test prep classes, and instruction in the arts and sports. We offer 5th, 8th and 12th graders individual guidance on school and college choices. Although housed on the campus of the Horace Mann School with access to the School's facilities, SOH is an independent 501(c)(3) program that raises its own funds to operate a high-quality program.
