Bronx Charter School for Better Learning

Welcome to the Bronx Charter School for Better Learning, our dynamic school in Northeast Bronx. Like the little girl on the beach who took the time to help the starfish, at BBL, we strive to make a difference "One Star Student" at a time. We are a community of educators and parents passionate about supporting our students in becoming independent and responsible learners, with a sustained love of learning. You are invited to be a part of this extraordinary experience. At the Bronx Charter Schools for Better Learning, we believe our job is to nurture that power, to let it develop, so it stays strong and vibrant, not only for the next lesson or the next test, but for a lifetime.

Aware of the students’ natural ability to self-teach, teachers provide only what students would not be able to figure out for themselves. In that way our children become responsible for their own academic learning. Of course, they do arrive at the "right answers," but far more important, in the process they develop a better understanding and a sustained awareness of the learner within, which will serve them for the rest of their lives.

We are now accepting applications for the 2018-2019 School Year! We have two locations: BBL 1 is located at 3740 Baychester Ave-Annex, Bronx, NY 10466.
