About Us
“Maslow before Bloom" It is our belief at BHS that when we’re able to combine social, emotional, affective, and cognitive development together, we are creating many more interconnections in the developing brain that enable students to accelerate learning and development.
Overview
Bronx Health Sciences High School (BHS) is a safe, friendly, multicultural learning environment whose doors are open to high school students from around the world or “around the block.” BHS provides students with learning opportunities through creative, rigorous, engaging and supportive instruction. Our students benefit from many opportunities, including the chance to take multiple AP courses, complete college coursework through our partnership with College Now, participate in the Peer Group Connection program and other community based organizations such as Community Change and Career Visions.
