About the school
At Jonas Bronck Academy (JBA) our students become scholars and their families become part of our larger JBA family. We create an environment where scholars challenge, question, and learn to think critically. We create a safe haven where scholars feel secure, supported, and understand the importance of community. JBA is a school where we model respect, integrity, and perserverance for everyone so that the children we serve have professional role models. Parents and guardians are our partners and their presence in our school, and their support at home are critical and essential to each scholar's success. We work to prepare scholars to live the furture of their dreams. JBA is the opportunity of a lifetime.
