About the Academy
The Academy is a rigorous sequence of four scaffolded courses aligned with national learning standards. Through hands-on, project-based learning, students develop critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and collaborative problem-solving skills while exploring topics such as forensics, physiology, genetics, microbiology, and infectious diseases. Using laboratory investigations, dissections, and real-world medical case studies, students apply scientific knowledge to authentic healthcare and biomedical challenges.
