Bronx Leadership Academy High School

The mission of Bronx Leadership Academy High School (BLA) is to educate our students to be committed to personal excellence and to improve the quality of life within their communities and society as a whole. This is accomplished by providing a program emphasizing values, education, service to the Bronx and respect for individual differences and cultures.

• The BLA Law Institute seeks to develop the critical-thinking skills of our students and expose them to issues involving ethics, justice and morality. We partner with the Justice Resource Center and law firms around the city to expand opportunities for our students to gain exposure to the legal profession (e.g., Moot Court competitions, Mock Trial competitions, law firm and court visits), and for scholarship opportunities.
