Bronx Charter School for Better Learning

Elementary schools that recognize and nurture every child's natural ability to learn.

BBL was chartered in 2003 and currently has serves just over 1000 students across two campuses. These students are primarily from low-income, minority families, including 94% who are African-American, and over 75% who are economically disadvantaged (eligible for the federal Free/Reduced Price Lunch Program). There is a large immigrant population in the community, and many of our students’ parents

✨ Our students don’t just learn—they apply their learning in meaningful ways.

As part of their end-of-year Capstone Project, this student took ownership of their learning journey by researching, creating, and presenting on a topic they were passionate about. 🧶 🪡

We’re proud to celebrate the hard work, confidence, and growth our students have shown throughout the year. Watch as they share!

And — don’t forget we are still enrolling for the 2026-27 school year, and the link to apply is in our bio!

🌲🎉 Learning doesn’t stop when students leave the classroom!

Our students had an amazing end-of-year adventure at Club Getaway, where they challenged themselves on ropes courses, embraced new experiences, and built confidence through outdoor learning.

From teamwork and perseverance to courage and resilience, our students learned meaningful lessons. We’re proud of all they’ve accomplished this year and grateful for opportunities that inspire growth both inside and outside the classroom.

Do you have a child entering kindergarten with us this fall?

Kindergarten at Bronx Charter School is all about joyful learning. Our students build strong math foundations with Cuisenaire Rods, exploring numbers and patterns through hands-on discovery, while Words in Color helps them unlock reading with confidence and understanding.

Learning is active, engaging, and meaningful from day one!

With just weeks to go before the end of the school year, we asked some of our wonderful fifth graders how they are feeling about what comes next. Hear what they have to say, and how they say BBL has prepared them. 💙

We know they’re both excited and nervous but we have all the confidence in the world that they will continue to shine! 💫
