BxC Students and Families

BxC has enrolled all 100 of its founding students, 50 kindergartners and 50 first graders. Each family came to the school for an individual enrollment meeting and tour, and everyone left feeling impressed and excited. The school was abuzz with activity during enrollment evenings, as families toured classrooms while teachers measured their spaces and planned their classroom set-up. Future students gleefully explored the play yard, and also created artwork for staff members, as their parents and guardians spoke to the co-directors and learned more about the school's mission and educational program.

BxC students are a very diverse group, with eleven home languages and a range of ethnic and racial backgrounds. They come from many different neighborhoods, including Fordham, Bedford Park, Norwood, Belmont, Kingsbridge, Kingsbridge Heights. and University Heights. 21 of the students also have a sibling attending BxC.

Over the summer, families will have a chance to meet each other and the BxC staff at a family picnic. And on September 2nd, BxC will open its doors and those 100 students will be a part of creating an educational environment filled with joyful learning, curiosity, and investigation.

BxC Welcomes First Classes of Students and Families

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.
