About Bronx Academy for the Future

Bronx Academy for the Future (BAFF) is dedicated to helping students become engaged Bronx citizens. Through technology investigations students recognize the real, relevant and important issues of their communities, families and lives.

Effective citizenship is predicated on individual growth—emotional and social, as well as academic. Bronx Academy for the Future is organized to support and nurture long-term teacher-student relationships. BAFF is a model for technology-supported, project-based learning.

What makes Bronx Academy unique?

• BAFF students are nurtured in a small group advisory system.
  
  
• BAFF students learn by doing hands-on projects with technology as a tool.
  
  
• BAFF students participate in after-school and summer activities sponsored by BAFF’s partners, including The After School Corporation and Clearpool, Inc.
  
  
• BAFF teachers work with our partner organizations, the Salvadori Center and Teaching Matters, to provide hands-on, technology oriented lessons.
  
  
• BAFF parents are encouraged to participate in the daily life of the students by serving as grade-level advisors and using technology for communication.
