South Bronx charter school highlights Bloomberg Summer Boost activities and trips
Summary
South Bronx Early College Academy Charter School is one of 126 New York City sites in Bloomberg Philanthropies' Summer Boost program; the report highlights in‑program academics, enrichment activities and planned off‑campus trips.
South Bronx Early College Academy Charter School is participating in Bloomberg Philanthropies' Summer Boost initiative, a program launched in New York City in 2022 to expand high‑quality summer learning for charter school students. Nicole Rosado, reporting for BronxNet, said the school is one of 126 city venues taking part in the campaign and described a mix of academics and enrichment offered this summer.
Rosado described offerings that range from arts and robotics to baseball, basketball, volleyball and double‑Dutch, along with hands‑on activities such as cooking and board games. She said students will also gain off‑campus experiences, including a college tour and an SUNY‑sponsored hiking trip to Black Rock Forest in Cornwall, New York. “They get a chance to learn new things and try activities that they wouldn't normally have during the school year,” Rosado said.
Program organizers told BronxNet the initiative aims to make the return to school stronger in the fall by combining instruction with engaging enrichment. A student who spoke during the segment said the program feels voluntary and fun: “They're choosing to be here.” Rosado closed the report by reiterating the program goals of boosting self‑esteem and familiarizing students with school routines ahead of the academic year.
The segment did not report specific classroom schedules or the precise number of students at this site; those details were not specified in the transcript.
