Bronx Early College Academy for Teaching & Learning

Bronx Early College Academy for Teaching & Learning serves students in grades 6-12 with a small enrollment. The school is known for its International Baccalaureate (IB) programs, including the IB Diploma and Career-Related Certificate, and also offers a Career Technical Education (CTE) program in Web Design. Parents frequently describe a supportive "family environment" and commend the dedicated and caring teachers. The school maintains strong relationships with families, reflected in overwhelmingly positive parent survey responses. Academically, the school demonstrates a strong commitment to advanced coursework, with a high percentage of students participating in accelerated programs, well above the citywide median. The four-year graduation rate is exceptionally high, significantly exceeding citywide benchmarks. However, middle school proficiency in ELA and Math is below citywide medians. While some Regents pass rates are strong, such as Languages Other Than English, others, including Algebra I and Chemistry, are areas of concern. While students generally feel safe, some survey responses indicate issues with bullying and physical altercations. Some students also suggest expanding extracurricular activities and improving college readiness support beyond the IB program. The school operates as a Community Schools Program and shares a building with other schools.
