Supporting our Community
​Since 2004​

Opportunity Charter School is celebrating 20 years of opportunity, founded in 2004, 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.
