  • Newark Boys Chorus School is honored that the Snyder Foundation selected our school to form an ongoing educational-philanthropic partnership. The funds will be used to: Purchase iPad Pros for all incoming NBCS students. Every student at the school has a iPad for use in school, at home and while on tour. This enables the teacher to extend the classroom day, stay in touch with the students, real-time and to provide appropriate feedback. Need Based Lunch Program: These funds will be used during the second semester to provide daily lunch for students based on need. Wireless Keyboarding Laboratory: This project replaces the 20 year-old laboratory that is not capable of any form of communications via the internet. Now our students will utilize cloud-based apps to learn keyboarding skills and programs such as Garage Band to compose and arrange music.
