About

Arturo A. Schomburg Satellite Academy Bronx is a high school devoted to fostering critical thinkers through authentic project based learning. We welcome all learners, whether it's through our student-led clubs, PSAL sports, (basketball, volleyball, softball), or our robust LTW paid internship program, any student can find a place in our community. Special tracks and opportunities include our new Spanish Bilingual Education program and our Pre-Nursing pathway program, where you can potentially earn a nursing certification. We also have Mandarin courses where students can learn about Chinese language and culture. To supplement the learning that happens inside classrooms, we take many schoolwide trips, class trips and offer other incentives like prizes and raffles weekly.
