The Harlem School of the Arts (HSA) is a school in Harlem, New York. It was founded in 1964 by the soprano [http://www.opera-gems.com/recalls/dorothy_maynor.htm| Dorothy Maynor] , and offers its programs to students of all ages.
According to its website, the mission of the Harlem School of the Arts is "to enrich the lives of children and their families in the Harlem community and beyond, through exposure to and instruction in the arts." [http://www.harlemschoolofthearts.org/] In 2005, the school was among 406 New York City arts and social service institutions to receive part of a $20 million grant from the Carnegie Corporation, which was made possible through a donation by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.

The school offers courses in both classical and jazz music, with instruction in musical instruments and voice, as well as dance (including ballet, modern, ethnic, jazz, and tap dance). In addition, classes are offered in theater arts, and creative writing, and visual arts (including sculpture and photography).
Most of the school's students are of African American or Latino cultural backgrounds, and tuition is relatively inexpensive in contrast to other similar educational institutions in the United States.
