Founded in 2004, the Bronx Charter School for
Excellence began an important and exciting public school alternative to serve children in the Parkchester section of the Bronx and its surrounding neighborhoods. As Parkchester continues its revitalization, the community provides an ideal environment for BCSE. Presently, the school serves more than 300 children in grades K – 5.

The mission of the Bronx Charter School for Excellence
is to prepare young people from New York City to compete for admission to and succeed in top public, private and parochial high schools by cultivating their intellectual, artistic, social, emotional and ethical development. The school will accomplish this by
offering a challenging and rigorous academic curriculum–which at the earliest of grades will
have an eye towards college preparation. To
achieve this, we will create a supportive and
caring environment that at all times has high
expectations of our students.
