I chose South Bronx Classical II for my two children because I wanted them to have the best education. Also, since they’ve been accepted the curriculum has been outstanding over the years. I love the support I get from staff, especially the deans. They treat us like family and my children love going to school to see their teachers. For the past three years, I’ve been part of the SBC II family.
Ms. Armstrong
South Bronx Classical II Parent
I chose this school because it seemed like the best fit for my son, who has always shown an interest in learning. I’ve stuck with this school because as my son has grown and developed, he has been supported and his needs have been met. The teachers and staff have always been extremely knowledgeable, kind, and understanding. I will continue to be invested in this school because it has shown it’s worth the time and dedication.
