About the school
As a college-preparatory middle school, Luisa Dessus Cruz, Middle School 302 is dedicated to the academic and personal development of students who will become tomorrow's leaders in the fields of mathematics, science, technology, and social service. Our curriculum develops well-rounded students who are challenged and engaged. The teachers are readying students to creatively and critically think, become self-disciplined, and develop social responsibility through high quality driven instruction. Students are challenged to question, problem-solve, communicate, and assume personal responsibility. We are an empowering and nurturing school community of diverse and collaborative members dedicated to achieving high standards for all of our students. Before our students graduate, it is expected that our students visit a minimum of 10 colleges and complete 30 hours of community service. Our students are afforded Latin percussion, modern dance, music production, visual arts, and coding. Our students participate in basketball, track and field, volleyball, flag football, cheerleading, and tennis. Our partnerships include: NY Historical Society, CHAMPS, Sophie Gerson Healthy Youth, Urban Advantage, Bronx Ensemble, and National Dance Institute.
