One of 36 new 'small schools' opening its doors in autumn 2006, BCAM is a community-focused initiative modeled on the principle of small learning communities to foster student achievement.   BCAM is comprised solely of Grade 9 students, approximately 100 in all. BCAM seeks enrollment expressly from Bedford-Stuyvesant, a neighborhood of over 141,000. Eighty percent of incoming students selected BCAM as their first choice.

Small schools are based on partnerships between the New York City Department of Education and nonprofit education and community organizations.   BCAM's partner is the Institute for Student Achievement, a nonprofit funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
