Bronx Center for Science & Mathematics was not what I expected at first. As I grew I learned more about myself and how to adapt to places with new people. At this school you're given many opportunities to try and do many different things which makes this school special.

The Bronx Center for Science and Math is a great school for college readiness. They provide students with many internships and program opportunity. While studying here I have had the opportunity to join STEM programs like Mini Meds and Paid internships as well over the summer. The teachers are great and provide tutoring every Tuesday afternoon. While the school does offer many clubs I don't think they really build up any school culture. Robotics is one of the best clubs in the school (they have pizza). Student government is also great.
