Bradley Tech has three "Academies of Learning", each of which specialize in a different area of technology or trade: Manufacturing; Architecture/Construction; and Design.

Students who attend Bradley Tech have the support of local pre-college programs such as Diversity Scholars, My Life!

Students learn current construction processes, architectural design, green building techniques, problem solving, and explore other creative mediums through visits from professional partners, job shadowing, and real world, hands-on projects.

All participate in the Milwaukee City Conference and WIAA Division I. Bradley Tech's traditional rivals are the Bay View High School Red Cats.

In 1986, Tech became the first City Conference school to play for the WIAA Division 1 football championship, losing the title game to two-time defending champion Manitowoc 28–20.
