Harris City Academy Crystal Palace is a city academy in Croydon, London. The school is a mixed gender school cattering for pupils between the ages of 11-18.

In September 2007 Harris CTC was integrated into the Harris Federation. This Federation was set up by the same Lord Harris of Peckham and has been set-up as a coalition of several secondary schools in Croydon and Southwark. These schools also include the former Stanley Technical High School in South Norwood. Because of this, Harris CTC changed its name to Harris City Academy Crystal Palace.

Ofsted reported in 2009:

"Harris City Academy Crystal Palace is an outstanding school that not only helps its students to achieve exceptionally high standards but also to be well prepared for the next stage of their life. The academy lives by its motto, 'all can achieve'; it therefore takes every measure possible to ensure that no child is left behind, irrespective of their ability, race, ethnicity, or gender. The message comes across strongly that parents share these views. Parents are very supportive of the academy and hold it in high regard."
