The SBC Model
With a focus on preparing students for success in college, career, community and life, South Bronx Community Charter High School design solutions to everyday problems. They build community and develop confidence in their roles as young leaders.
Instructional Model
South Bronx Community Charter High School is a competency-based school. We organize all of our teaching and learning around a core set of skills, mindsets and abilities that students must master in order to be graduated. Our students are assessed and advanced based on what they are able to demonstrate. We expect and support all of our students to achieve at high levels.
Our classes are organized into four categories: studios, selectives, targeted support and CORE:
Studios
Interdisciplinary classes that cover math, science, English Language Arts, and social studies content.
Selectives
Choice-based art, movement, and special interest classes.
Targeted Support
Daily tutoring and enrichment classes.
Core
Advising, group mentoring, and college and career exploration classes.
SBC student also participate in brotherhood and sisterhood groups as part of our weekly Rite of Passage program that supports identity development and the formation of positive peer relationships.
“I am a beacon for students who feel afraid, mistreated, or misunderstood.”
