Overview Paragraph

Bronx Design & Construction Academy is a CTE school that prepares students for direct entry into the design and construction field and/or entry to a four-year college. BDCA offers Carpentry, Plumbing, HVAC, Electric, and Architectural Drafting/Pre-engineering as CTE programs. All students receive a rigorous four-year liberal arts education alongside their CTE training. We provide a challenging interdisciplinary program that ties academic skills and discipline with CTE coursework. By focusing on a skills-based approach, we help students make connections between their coursework and real-world problems so that they may find unique and tenable solutions to any problem they wish to solve.
