Blanche Kelso Bruce Academy (BKBA) – Bowman Site is a specialized educational facility located in Detroit, Michigan, operating under the management of The Chance Project. The academy functions primarily as an alternative educational program designed to serve students who may have struggled in traditional school settings or who are involved with the juvenile justice system. The school’s curriculum is structured to provide rigorous academic instruction while simultaneously integrating social-emotional learning, behavioral support, and life-skills training to help students achieve both personal and educational growth.

The school is notable for its commitment to providing a "second chance" for its student population by fostering a supportive, structured environment.
