The Bronx Global Learning Institute For Girls Charter School, The Shirley Rodriguez-Remenski School

The goal of the School is to create one of the finest public Schools in the nation through the charter School process. We hope to serve the children of our community and to create a role model for charter School design that can be replicated everywhere that new educational alternatives are needed. A broad cross-section of the community has joined together to create this unique School: parents, educators, social service executives, elected officials, community leaders and business people. At the same time, the deep need for better educational alternatives is longstanding and well known. The School is a public School, educating all children on a completely non-discriminatory and secular basis. The founders and supporters of the School believe that access to a public education of high quality for all children is the foremost civil rights issue in America today. Creating an outstanding public School that meets the needs of all of its children and families is not easy work. Ultimately, however, parents and children have a right to good public School alternatives and a fair chance at life. For this reason, the best-designed charter public Schools will succeed and will raise the quality of traditional non-chartered public Schools along with them. Academic Excellence + Multi Language + Cultural Heritage = Global Competent Edge. A single-sex environment coupled with a strong instructional program ensures that each student focuses on personal developmental and academic achievement, which will promote leadership and unselfish self fulfillment.
