At BHS, we are committed to preparing every student for success in college, career, and life. Aligned with the NYC Public Schools’ College & Career Readiness Framework, our pathway ensures that students graduate with the academic foundation, critical thinking skills, and real-world experiences needed to thrive beyond high school.
As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, we proudly offer the IB Diploma Programme (DP)—a globally recognized, rigorous academic program that challenges students to think deeply, communicate effectively, and engage with real-world issues. Through the IB DP, students develop the intellectual curiosity, research skills, and resilience essential for postsecondary success.
Our College & Career Pathway includes:
Rigorous, Standards-Aligned Coursework: Students have access to the IB Diploma Programme, AP courses (if applicable), and other advanced coursework to build college-level academic skills and earn college credit.
Individualized Advising: Each student works closely with an advisor or counselor to explore interests, set goals, and develop a personalized college and career plan.
College Access & Application Support: We provide guidance with the college application process, including FAFSA completion, personal statement writing, college visits, and scholarship resources.
Career Exploration & Work-Based Learning: Students participate in internships, service learning, and partnerships with local organizations to explore professional fields and build essential workplace skills.
Research, Service, and Global Perspectives: Through the IB DP’s core components—Theory of Knowledge (TOK), the Extended Essay, and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS)—students develop the habits of inquiry, reflection, and service that colleges and employers value.
Our mission is to ensure that every student leaves BHS with a clear postsecondary plan, a sense of purpose, and the tools to lead with integrity, equity, and global awareness. Whether students pursue a four-year college, career certification, the arts, entrepreneurship, or service, we support their journey to becoming lifelong learners and leaders.
