Dear Community,
Our Vision is to open a wall-to-wall International Baccalaureate school that would serve children from K through 6th grades in the Harlem community beginning with K-2 when the doors open. Our mission is to produce internationally-minded and globally competitive ambassadors that can thrive in a variety of settings. Our dual language program of choice is French (adding enrichment languages as we grow such as Arabic, Mandarin and Spanish. Our application will be submitted to the New York State Education Department for authorization to open our doors in the Fall of 2019.
Please participate in the opening of Sofara International Charter School by signing our community petition of support. You may leave feedback on our proposal in the comments box even if you choose not to support our proposal. For more information about the school, to add comments, or to ask questions, please visit www.sofarainternational.org or email us at [email protected].

I'm so excited & inspired by what you'll be bringing to the children of Harlem USA. I formally taught using the IB-PYP & truly believe it's an excellent & rigourous curriculum that's much needed in urban public (charter) schools in the USA. Bravo!
I like the idea of a charter school that can create an environment for both struggling children and children that need enrichment. Not all of our kids are below grade level. I look forward to applying for my youngest child.
I like the things you will offer the kids. I would like to see you offer an African language like Swahili that relates to our culture.
I am happy to lend my support to an impressive organization. Charter school such as this are integral to creating a place that nurtures inner city youth in the formative years in a way that allows them to celebrate the richness of their culture, expand their horizons and plan bright futures. It is a pleasure to spread the word!
Hi, this is an exciting concept that is needed in New York! I love the idea of my son being able to learn 3 languages. I hope you are authorized!
Great Team
Hi Jacqueline, We look forward to opening our doors and providing an amazing educational experience for your child!

I strongly support the application to.open the Sofara International Charter School in Manhattan Our children deserve the opportunity to learn and think critically and independently in the inquiry-based framework of the International Baccalaureate program.
