Art

EBC High School for Public Service has a diverse arts curriculum that spans multiple areas of cultural inclusion and relevance. At EBC, we run two in-depth cohorts of visual arts and music. Our visual arts department focuses on texture-based instruction as well sculpture, painting, and drawing. Most notably, EBC's music department is one of only two stable high school music departments in Bushwick. We offer opportunities for students to enroll in three sections of concert band, a Latin ensemble and academic based music courses. The music department offers master classes from Grammy Award-winning minority artists and presentations from New York City- based pre-college music programs. EBC's Concert Band will frequently compete in the annual NYSSMA Majors Festival and will often nominate students to the All City Honors ensemble. We ensure our students are well-rounded and given every opportunity to succeed outside of our safe, secure high school. Music and visual arts are pillars of our high school community and contribute to the well-being of our students' social and emotional needs
