Harbor Conservatory for the Performing Arts, a division of Boys and Girls Harbor, is a non-profit performing arts institution located in New York City.

Our mission is to provide students with a complete education in music, dance and theater in a challenging, caring and encouraging environment that fosters positive self-image, an appreciation of the arts and an understanding of cultural diversity.

Located in El Barrio, Harbor Conservatory is acclaimed for its Latin music curriculum. All three disciplines offered at the school -- music, dance and theater -- celebrate the cultural contributions of our dynamic, diverse East Harlem community to the American performing arts canon.

We hope to instill pride in our students as they learn about their ancestral heritage and their neighborhood's prominent place in music history.

Our staff is comprised of professional performers who are recognized as leaders in their fields. Classes combine rigorous training and fun to create an atmosphere where students can meet others with similar interests and still prepare for a range of performance experiences.

Through its afterschool programs, outreach to public schools and work with community groups, Harbor Conservatory strives to reach as many neighborhood children as possible. We believe that training in the arts encourages self-esteem, discipline and focus. Whether or not our students pursue the arts professionally, these qualities are essential as they pursue excellence in their education, careers and their lives.
