Bronx Arts Middle School helps students develop a growth mindset and offers students a safe, welcoming environment that nurtures creativity, academic progress and confidence.

Carrying Forward our Values

Recognizing Bronx Arts’ success in improving elementary school student achievement, in 2017 the New York State Board of Regents approved an expansion into a Middle School.

The Waitlist Application For Lottery Enrollment is currently open for Bronx Arts Middle School, which will open its doors in Fall 2018 at our bright and spacious campus less than half a mile from the Bronx Arts Elementary school campus.

Access to opportunity

We strongly believe that all students deserve the opportunity to demonstrate excellence and that all children can and will succeed when given 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 that of most schools.
