The Equity Project (TEP) Charter School is a charter school in New York City that focuses on primary and secondary education. Founded in 2009, it began as a 5th–8th grade middle school in Washington Heights and now serves students from Kindergarten through 4th grade, with plans to add Pre-K and eventually become Pre-K through 8th grade for about 1,200 students. The school aims to advance educational equity for students from underserved communities by employing highly experienced teachers who deliver a rigorous program across academics, arts, and athletics. The approach has drawn attention from major publications and is associated with studies reporting notable achievement gains, including math improvements comparable to roughly 1.6 additional years of schooling and gains in science and English. Located in New York City, TE P operates with a mid-sized staff and serves a regional student population.
