About Broome Street Academy Charter High School: 

Broome Street Academy Charter High School (BSA) is a tuition-free public charter high school located in SoHo, educating students from all five boroughs, and devoted to providing students the necessary skills and support to graduate prepared for a successful future beyond high school. Our equitable, holistic, and student-centered approach provides students with access to a rigorous, standards-based curriculum that will equip graduates with the skills they need to make a positive impact on their communities and the broader world.

We are an inclusive school community that values academic rigor, trauma informed practice, and student voice. Our Advanced Placement classes, Athletics program, and extracurricular offerings give our students the full high school experience in a small, one-of-a-kind environment.
