About

Bronx Leadership Academy High School’s core purpose is for families, faculty and scholars to be empowered to learn, lead and positively contribute to our school community and society. At BLA, we live and breathe by our Wolfpack Creed: "A family of Wolves together a pack. Each one of them knows to watch the other one's back. When one of them triumphs, it's shared by all. When one of them fails, they all take the fall. If the enemy strikes one, they are all by his/her side. They know that holding together is the key to their pride. Should one of them be hurt the rest take up the slack. For the strength of the pack is each wolf and the strength of each Wolf is the pack."

At Bronx Leadership Academy, we pride ourselves in being able to provide our scholars with a diverse and robust learning experience. We are a small school with three hundred and forty-three scholars. We offer scholars classes in music and digital marketing and media. We recently partnered with our CBO to offer dance classes and visual arts and design classes during our Saturday Academy. We also partner with Five4Five Films. Our scholars have written, acted and produced a plethora of films. We were honored to have been recognized during the 2024 NYCPS Film Festival for our "Man to Man," film. We were also entered into the Five4Five Film festival where our scholars film "Survivor Story," was will received by the audience and recognized with an award. In addition, we have coordinated art therapy sessions afterschool for parents and scholars. We believe anything our scholars are interested in are areas we must cultivate.
