Mission Statement
Bronx Theatre High School is a theater and performing arts-based school that will accommodate the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical needs of every student by immersing them in an environment with a focus on the performing arts.
Our Vision
Our vision is to provide students with a dynamic learning environment where respect is mutual, ideas are shared, and learning is not limited to the classroom. Our school fosters a safe and nurturing environment where learning takes place in the classroom, in the theatre studios, in our community, and through various educational opportunities. The lens through which we are doing so is to lead through equity.
Our concept of a successful school is one built collaboratively by its staff, students, parents, community members, and our partner organizations. We will prepare students for higher education and provide them with the skills needed to be college and career ready.
The key objectives of Bronx Theatre High School are to:
Engage students in an exploration of universal themes of theatre and the Performing Arts.
Empower and purposefully train students, teachers and other stakeholders to assume leadership roles in and outside of the classroom.
Foster academic achievement by involving students in activities that promote creative thinking, build cognitive skills and provide exposure to the art.
Facilitate professional development for teachers and school administrators to enhance their ability to provide students with effective instruction and engage them in academic discussions both in and out of the classroom.
Provide students with the technology utilized in the production of theatre related elements such as costume, set, lighting and sound.
Engage students in rich opportunities to achieve the state mandated requirements for a Regents/Advanced Regents diploma so that they may be college and career ready.
Build relationships with our external community to provide rich opportunities for our scholars and increase our standing in the community.
