Who We Are

Comp Sci High is a charter high school serving the South Bronx. We opened 6 years ago with a mission to put every student on a path to economic freedom. The community and model we have built has been doing that work for the last six years with excellent results.

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 and reimagine our school, until we are among the best and most innovative high schools in the country.

Our Mission

To ensure every student graduates with a college acceptance letter, high tech skills, real work experience, and a robust plan to turn those opportunities into a successful career where they will achieve the median income of the U.S. by the age of 25.

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.
