About
At Bronx Health Sciences High School, we are a close-knit, diverse community where students are known, supported, and challenged every day. We prepare students for college, careers in the health sciences, and life beyond the classroom by offering a strong academic foundation paired with real-world learning. Our students engage in hands-on experiences, including internships, fieldwork, and partnerships with hospitals and universities that bring learning to life. Through project-based instruction and collaborative learning, students build confidence, sharpen critical thinking skills, and take ownership of their growth. We emphasize literacy and communication across all subjects so that every student learns to read with purpose and write with clarity. Our advisory program ensures that each student has a trusted adult who supports their academic and social-emotional development. We celebrate student voice, leadership, and identity, creating an environment where everyone feels seen and valued. What makes BHS unique is our commitment to deeper learning, college and career readiness, and a community-driven culture where staff and families work together to help every student succeed. Our graduates leave with the knowledge, confidence, and experience to thrive in college, careers, and beyond.
