About Our School
Where health meets learning for every student.
Founded in 2006 as a New Visions Public 6-12 Community Learning PROSE School, CHAH serves grades 6 through 12 in Northern Manhattan. Our signature health-focused curriculum prepares students to think critically and serve their community through partnerships with Columbia University Medical Center, New York Presbyterian Hospital, and local organizations.
At CHAH, we believe the child should be encouraged to raise their village—just as the village raises the child. Our collaborative teachers and community partners ensure every student is equipped for college and beyond.
