Description
Brooklyn Community Arts & Media (BCAM) is a small public high school located in Bed-Stuy. Our mission is to provide academic, creative, and professional preparation for the 21st century though an inquiry and arts-based curriculum. At a time when arts programs in public schools are increasingly threatened by mandates for more and more standardized testing, we offer a rich variety of elective courses taught by community artists, educators, and activists that include: the Art of Emceeing, African, Modern and Hip-Hop dance, T-Shirt Design, Advanced Drawing, Documentary Filmmaking, Yoga, Boxing, Music Production, and more. With our emphasis on media and communication, BCAM encourages students to be creators and critics rather than mere consumers of mainstream media, and to create meaning ful messages for their communities and the world.
