Excellence in Instruction
Bronx Arts is committed to utilizing only the most effective instructional techniques and methodologies in our classrooms. One key element to ensuring excellent instruction is a rich and rigorous curriculum. Our curriculum progressively increases mastery of skills and concepts in literacy, science, mathematics, and the humanities.
We strongly believe that all students deserve the opportunity to demonstrate excellence and that all children can and will succeed when given the optimal support and guidance. Our Inclusion Program provides students with special needs the opportunity to be educated in a general education environment with supplemental support, and our commitment to meeting the instructional needs of all students is further supported by small class size and a school day that is thirty minutes longer than most other schools.
Arts Education Approach
At Bronx Arts, music echoes in the halls, student art covers the walls, and performances of theater and dance take place in front of applauding families and community members. Through skills-based instruction as well as arts integration in the classrooms, students have the opportunity to explore art-making and to use art as a language to express their thoughts and ideas. Through these experiences, our students achieve:
- High levels of critical, analytical, and creative thinking skills
- Deep content knowledge in all subject areas
- Excellent communication and self-expression skills, and
- A strong sense of possibility and aspiration for achievement
