Within an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect, we offer each student the challenge of meeting high standards and the support to achieve them. It is our primary objective to prepare students to pursue and thrive in higher education. The Bronx Latin School community welcomes your interest in our school and invites you to visit.
High Standards: The Bronx Latin administration, faculty and staff are committed to this mission and have pledged to set and maintain high standards, provide challenging material and the support necessary to enable students to achieve. Ultimately, each student’s success rests with that student and his/her parents/guardians, who must commit themselves to the goals, values and standards of Bronx Latin. Bronx Latin supports the intellectual, personal, physical and cultural development of each student, encourages serious study and provides an orderly and attractive place in which to learn together. We expect our students to abide by a code of excellence.
