KAPPA IV is a distinguished middle school housed in the
Percy E. Sutton Educational Complex in Central Harlem. We educate and prepare
our scholars to be leaders and productive members of society. We currently
accommodate approximately 300 students of various backgrounds who also
represent varying levels of academic ability. We have a newly renovated
auditorium and technology lab. We offer other enrichment and after-school programs
such as the Mouse Squad, The Debate Team, The Chess Club, The Harlem Jets
Wrestling Team and The Champs Basketball Team.

Dear Parents and school community,
Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year. While the recent budget cuts have impacted our organization, the KAPPA IV administration, faculty and staff are committed to exploring all available options to provide our scholars with a quality education full of opportunities and possibilities. In fact, our primary goal is to enhance our scholars' individual development and talents each and every day. Therefore, throughout the year scholars will have an opportunity to participate in several new initiatives and classes at KAPPA IV. The following are just a few of our new enhancements for the 2011-2012 school year: In house library, formal technology class, debate class, school garden and an opportunity to participate in a pageant.
We encourage you to check our website regularly in order to stay updated on the status of upcoming school events, important information and reminders. Finally, keep in mind that we strive to maximize our resources and efforts in order to provide each individual student with an opportunity to succeed. If you are interested in volunteering and/or have any ideas please be sure to share your comments with a member of the school community. On behalf of the KAPPA IV family we are looking forward to making the 2011-2012 school year a success for all!
Thank you.
Dr. Juan Vives, Jr.
Principal, I.A.
