Shkolla Shqipe në Bronx

Shkolla Shqipe në Bronx is an Albanian-language heritage school operating in the Bronx, serving children of Albanian immigrant families in the borough. It is listed by Albania's Qendra e Botimeve për Diasporën (QBD), the state diaspora publishing center, among the recognized Albanian-language schools in the United States.

The school runs out of two New York City public school buildings: Christopher Columbus High School at 925 Astor Avenue and MS 80 on Mosholu Parkway East. Its work centers on teaching the Albanian language and passing down Albanian cultural and historical material to a younger generation growing up in New York.

A feature in Revista Kuvendi describes the school as a private initiative started by several Albanian businesspeople and community activists, set in a Bronx neighborhood with a heavy concentration of Albanian immigrant families. The same article documents a visit by the Mayor of Kamëz, Albania, who donated Albanian primers (abetare) to the classrooms and discussed twinning the Bronx school with one in Kamëz.

Within the Albanian-American community, Shkolla Shqipe në Bronx functions as both a weekend classroom and a meeting point that ties Bronx families back to municipalities and schools in Albania. It sits alongside other Albanian heritage schools in the New York metro area as part of the broader diaspora education network tracked by QBD.
