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.

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.
