BCS High School Experience

We provide challenging, experiential learning environment that not only prepares students to successfully complete all requirements for a New York State High School diploma and to pursue higher education, but calls on them to be caring and thoughtful world citizens. Students are engaged by a project- and inquiry-based curriculum that sparks curiosity and creativity and are evaluated through portfolios and performance-based assessment. Through mentoring, students find their inner strengths. Every student is known well by the other community members of our school.
