Humanities is a public charter school located in the Marble Hill neighbourhood in the Bronx. Serving 9th through 12th-grade students, we are focused on supporting the lifelong learning of our students and maintaining the highest graduation rates and acceptance rates into four-year colleges and universities. Our vision is of an exemplary learning community in which students and staff are continuously impelled to grow intellectually, emotionally and ethically. Our students are empowered to achieve and surpass the highest academic and personal standards en route to becoming virtuous, HUMane and emboldened participants in society and their lives. We strive to build a community that values individuality, fosters a passion for learning, and promotes college and career readiness for all.
Where We Are
We are located in the West Bronx, with a committed staff that focuses on the academic needs of every student. Our John F. Kennedy campus is at 99 Terrace View Avenue, 3rd Fl, Bronx, NY 10463.
Accelerated learning prepares our scholars for college, careers and beyond. YES HUM CAN, our graduation plan, sets up students for success after high school with college- and career-related trips and internship opportunities throughout the year.
Our strong academic program offers double subject periods, intense tutoring, academic intervention services, early college courses and internships. Additional learning time each day, along with our Summer Bridge program, gives scholars extra time to deepen their understanding of every subject.
HUM scholars learn by doing. Focusing on real-world problems, students master knowledge and then present and defend their work to an audience. Students learn best through experiences that allow them to engage in research, explore and experience concepts, texts and materials, explain their point of view, elaborate their learning, evaluate findings, use technology and other tools for presentations, create evidence-based writing and conduct discussions.
