School Overview

Arturo A. Schomburg Satellite Academy Bronx is a transfer high school located in the Morrisania neighborhood of the Bronx. Part of the New York City Department of Education’s network of "Satellite Academies," the school is specifically designed to serve over-aged and under-credited students who have struggled in traditional high school settings. It offers a smaller, more personalized learning environment that prioritizes student-teacher relationships, flexible scheduling, and a supportive academic atmosphere to help students get back on track toward earning their high school diploma.

The school emphasizes a "student-centered" approach, focusing on project-based learning and social-emotional growth rather than just standardized testing. By maintaining a smaller student body, Schomburg Satellite Academy fosters a close-knit community where staff members provide intensive academic and personal counseling. This model is intended to remove common barriers to graduation, providing a pathway for students to complete their requirements while preparing them for post-secondary opportunities, including college and career readiness.
