Who We Are

Comp Sci High is a new charter high school serving the South Bronx that opened in August of 2018.

Our founding team came together to start CSH because we believe that students in the Bronx can and will join the next generation of programmers, tech entrepreneurs, computer scientists, and overall become leading professionals with tech skills for any industry. We wanted to build a new kind of high school--a high school that truly prepares kids for their lives after graduation. We also wanted to build a community of adults with strong connections to each other, to kids and families, and to the Bronx community.

We are looking for an inspiring, talented, visionary, and educator to join our amazing team, help us continue to build our school, and, one day, lead one of the city’s best and most innovative high schools.

Our Mission

Our Values and Beliefs

At CSH, we value diverse views and ideas. But, we believe that every adult in our community needs to share a core set of values and beliefs in order to give our students and families the school they deserve.
