Figure Skating in Harlem

Figure Skating in Harlem has been a ground-breaking organization since 1997. It provides girls ages 6-18 with vital educational and skating opportunities that promote confidence, leadership, physical well-being and academic excellence. Our three programs, ICE: I Can Excel, Summer Dreams Camp and Harlem Ice Synchronized Skating provide slots for more than 275 students annually and gives our girls the opportunity to appear in several on-ice public performances throughout the year. All of our students make a commitment to themselves and to FSH that they will aim for an 'A' average or higher in school. Students remain in good standing with a 'B' average and require additional support with a 'C' average. FSH helps each girl improve her academic skills, become a competent figure skater, and grow into a self-confident, resourceful, and determined young woman. We are proud that hundreds of our alumnae have gone off to colleges such as Georgetown University, Barnard College, Parsons - The New School and Brown University. Our philosophy is simple, when our girls are told they can achieve anything they put their minds to, and are given the tools to do it, they not only believe they can, they do! This is how you build champions in life.
