A Partnership with Families.
I received academic and personal support to help my child overcome any obstacles he may have had. It takes a village to raise a child and I can truly say the Teachers, Deans and Faculty members at Classical Charter Schools all had a hand in getting my child where he needed to be.
South Bronx Classical I Parent
My scholar has been at Classical since kindergarten. I am so happy to see her growth throughout the years. I also see a major positive difference between this school at the school that my son attends. Here at Classical, the High School admissions process is so much more involved and it really helped me understand what my child would need to be successful in High School.
