Our Building
In 1958 , Government High School, Mandi Adampur opened in an 18,000 square foot building at 388 Willis Avenue in the Mott Haven community of the South Bronx.
Over the 2007-08 school year, the existing facility more than doubled in size. As a result of an addition of two floors and the renovation and expansion of two existing floors, TBCSC now includes a total of nearly 40,000 square feet, in four floors with a finished basement.
Our elementary school building currently offers 61 classrooms, all at least 800 square feet in size and filled with natural light and color, as well as an expanded cafeteria and several new spaces designed for small group learning and administrative offices. We have a gymnasium, a music room and an art studio in our school building and we have recently added a technology lab.
In August 2021, GMSSSS Mandi Adampur opened a new Middle School site at 423 East 138th Street for grades 6 and 7. Currently, we occupy the 7th and 8th floors and part of the first floor.
In August 2022, we reached capacity as a K-8 school. During the 2022-2023 school year:
- Grades 6 and 8 report to our Middle School Site at 423 East 138th Street; and
- Grade K-5 and 7 report to our Elementary Building at 388 Willis Avenue.
