BRONX CHARTER SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS
The Bronx Charter School for the Arts was founded on the principle that arts education is a catalyst for the
academic and social success of all students. With a rigorous curriculum, skilled instructional staff, and
innovative arts programming, Bronx Arts' goal is to enable the students to reach high levels of achievement in
all academic subjects and to have a unique foundation of learning and experience in the arts. The school
facility on Longfellow Avenue was custom-designed for the school and provides the backdrop for a motivating
and inspiring learning environment.
