New Bard High School Early College Slated to Open in South Bronx

A new Bard High School Early College is slated to open in the South Bronx this fall. Student enrollment will prioritize local families in “an effort to address a perennial balancing act between rigor and equity in the city’s most exclusive public schools,” writes Cayla Bamberger for New York Daily News. “From the first conversation with Chancellor Banks and his team, something that was really important was about bringing the same quality and standards and resources and rigor that defines this program to the Bronx in full,” said Stephen Tremaine, vice president for Early College Policies and Programs. “First and foremost for South Bronx residents—and to do that unapologetically.”
