Pharos Academy is a K-12 charter school serving the Longwood community in the South Bronx. Our goal is to ensure that we equip every scholar with the skills and mindset to make a positive impact on their families, communities, and in the world.
The name Pharos is derived from the name of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria. The Lighthouse of Alexandria was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
