West Bronx Academy for the Future

The West Bronx Academy for the Future (WBA) is a high-tech school that prepares its graduates to participate fully in the social, civic, and economic life of their city. Students learn in integrated classes and are supported by a guidance system featuring small numbers of students with long-term teacher involvement. Our program is enhanced by real-world, project-based learning and the thorough integration of technology. Students are able to use two computer labs (Mac and HP) while working on integrated curriculum.
