About the school
We are a New York City DOE Magnet School. That means we have all of the same standards, programs and resources as any other public school in the plus a few extras. Serving 6-8th grade students and their families from the Bronx and beyond, JHS 123X - The Bronx Urban Community Magnet School is a home for middle school students who are looking to build and extend their passion for learning. By inviting students to examine how innovators drives change in STEAM careers, we are able to motivate and excite our students about learning, inspire them to question the past, present and future, and provide them with essential skills to become 21st century change agents. STEAM exploration takes place in the form of project-based learning units across all content areas where in student success comes from being goal-oriented, creatively solving problems to better our community and our world. Students will graduate as risk-takers, mistake-makers, team players, and trend setters.
