If you suffer from mental disorders, especially social anxiety, please do not attend this school. You will feel worse. No one will acknowledge you.

My experience at Pharos Academies was constantly changing due to principle issues throughout the years. However the curriculum definitely prepared me for higher education and what to expect.

I loved my experience at Bronx Light House! The school prepared me a lot for college and helped me in my new journey to college. The teachers were very caring and the basketball teams were amazing! I will always recommend this school to people.
