Bronx Lab School was founded in partnership with two organizations, the Institute for Student Achievement and FEGS Health and Human Services. They occupy space in the Evander Childs campus complex, and are one of several small new schools that is replacing a phased-out Evander Childs High School. Bronx Lab enjoys many freedoms within the greater structure of the New York City Department of Education. The Bronx Lab staff has a personal interest in developing students’ independent and creative thought, willingness to accept intellectual risks and challenges, forming superior work habits and cooperative, positive approaches to learning. While these attributes cannot always be precisely measured and adjusted, Teachers honor them and work energetically to foster their development.
