About Our School

Welcome to Vertex, home of the lions! 

We’re building a first-of-its kind, IB-for-all academy in The Bronx that prepares students for the responsibilities of republican self-governance, guided by the four cardinal virtues of courage, justice, temperance and wisdom. 

Our students have agency: every day they make choices about the people they want to be, the lives they want to lead, and the society they want to build. It is our sacred duty to give them the knowledge most worth having, to teach them how to think critically, to expose them to a rich diversity of viewpoints, and to provide the space for them to explore and create.

Vertex Partnership Academies provides the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme for freshmen and sophomores and is proud to be an International Baccalaureate World School authorized to offer both the Diploma and the Career-related Programmes in the junior and senior years.

  • Participate in community-based projects and school field trips.
  • Proactively communicate with families about student learning.
  • Supervise students’ individual Personal Projects, Extended Essays, and service requirements.
  • Lead an advisory group of students in a specified grade level.
