 Students who read and write confidently have a key, almost magical in character, that will open doors for them throughout their lives. The Bronx Academy of Letters provides its students with this key by integrating reading, writing and literature into every course, even mathematics and the sciences, in a rigorous, college- preparatory curriculum. Believing that the written word is the fundamental building block of success, not only in the classroom but in a career, BAL prepares students to realize their wide and varied ambitions to become everything from poets, journalists and rap artists to politicians, doctors and scientists.
