Mission Statement

well in order to become prooductive adults with a commitment to their
comunity. The school was designed to a caring enviroonment and varied
opportunities for students to learn. Throughout the exploration of each
curricula area, students woll demonstrate their ability to use good
Habits of Mind. Students will be able to give evidence to support what
they know, dicuss differing viewpoints, relate connections and see patterns,
question the revelance of what they have learned and see alternatives
that can initiate change. We endeavor to develop whithin our students
life long learning skills that will support productive lives after high
school.

Art, Gym and a Foreign Language.
Through cooperative learning and meaningful linkages in the curriculum,
students will be able to identify and interpret the relevance of systems
across the curriculum and in their lives. Through the Community Service
placements, students are introduced to a rich comlement of services
within their community. They perform needed tasks in non-profit agencies
and are exposed to a variety of work experiences.
The Bronx Tech Community building network is further organized around
Advisory. Students are placed in an inter-grade advisory system after
their first year in the school. They remain in an Advisory for two years
during which time the Advisor guides them through all aspects of their
school life. The philosophy and culture of the school is: a community
of learners who learn through cooperative work and self inquiry is introduced
and practiced.We expect our students too make a commitment to the survival
of the community and tooo its continued growth.
