Clubs are an essential part of the student life at Bronx Science. With over eighty different club and activity options, students are bound to find something that matches their interests. While some clubs relate to hobbies such as Chess Club, others are career focused, like Business Society. One large category of clubs that students partake in is Cultural Clubs. There are almost two dozen clubs specifically related to the wide variety of cultures that students from our school identify with. These clubs allow students to have a safe space with like-minded students, where they can discuss topics specifically related to their identity. Below are photos from some of these clubs.
