The Bronx School of Young Leaders
Overview
We offer an academically challenging curriculum that prepares students for high school and beyond. Many of our students have been accepted to prestigious programs, such as TEAK Fellowships. We offer a transitional bilingual program for students who are new to the country (zero to three years in the country). We also offer specific tutoring for students with individual needs. At the Bronx School of Young Leaders our mission is to "enjoy and improve the world". There are many special programs aligned to our mission at the school. Students work hard to be Super Scholars and attend special trips when they qualify by having 85% or higher in all of their classes. We have a wonderful attendance rate, higher than the city average, and we take students with perfect attendance on special field trips. So many extracurricular opportunities are available including: dance, music, visual arts, basketball, baseball, soccer, computer science, sign language, spoken word, chess, documentary film, and volleyball. We offer several programs on Saturdays through our CBO, Fordham University. Parents attend classes in English as a New Language and fitness. We are a community school and we always welcome the ideas of parents, students, and community members.
