On April 3rd, BxC held its student lottery at the Bronx Library Center on Fordham Road. 50 first graders and 50 kindergartners were selected from over 350 applications. Students who were not selected were placed on a waiting list for each grade.
Enrollment meetings for BxC families will take place during the month of April at the school site on Webster Ave. Families will have a chance to tour the school, meet individually with the Co-Directors and fill out necessary paperwork.
The 2008-09 student body of BxC includes a racially and socio-economically diverse group of boys and girls from the unique neighborhoods of the Northwest Bronx.
Welcome Bronx Community families!

Mission
Bronx Community Charter School is a small learning community founded on the principle that children learn best when they are active participants in their own learning. Our students raise questions about the world around them, engage with a wide range of materials, and learn through their interactions with each other and all of the adults in the school community. Children learn to use their minds well, cultivating strong intellectual habits and skills to become self-directed learners with clear passions and ambitions. Teachers know children deeply and develop powerful curriculum to meet the needs and interests of their students. All members of our school community are committed to making thoughtful choices, advancing democratic values, and effecting change in the broader community.
