About the school
The Bronx School for Law, Government and Justice (LGJ) is an educational community that believes learning is a product of thinking. Students at LGJ are engaged in hands-on, minds-on learning in their core classes as well as through the law curriculum, mentoring, and extracurricular activities. Both students and parents like that when you come to LGJ you become a part of a family. Our families appreciate the many partnerships that create opportunities for mentoring, internships, and shadow days for our students. The LGJ middle school is small and allows for students and parents to receive one-on-one attention. We were founded in September 1997 by the Urban Assembly, and share a campus with the Bronx Criminal Court Complex
