The Bronx High School of Science significantly enriches our STEM education focus by offering numerous opportunities for students to explore the arts. Our mission is to provide interdisciplinary experiences that blend fine arts, visual arts, music, and drama. Students regularly showcase their talents both in school and in the broader community. At Bronx Science, our high-caliber Winter and Spring Concerts feature performances by our concert band, jazz band, chorus, and orchestra. The S!NG program delivers outstanding performances, written and performed by our talented students. Our students actively participate in the annual mask creation contest and have achieved recognition in various photography competitions. Editors and contributors are busy designing Dynamo and Vox Discipulorum, our literary and world language magazines that include a great amount of student artwork along with poetry and prose. Many of our musicians and artists have earned accolades in numerous contests across the city and county. We take pride in the annual dance performances by NASHA and LUNAR, our vibrant student clubs. Additionally, our students produce a weekly television program, Wolverine TV, demonstrating their creativity and technical skills.
