Butler Academy of Health Sciences (BAOHS) Vision Statement: To prepare students for a
career in the rapidly-growing medical industry.
WHAT IS AN ACADEMY?
Career academies increase the engagement of high school students and provide a way for those beyond the walls of the schools to enhance students' educational experiences. The Butler AOHS provides Butler students with exciting opportunities to add rigor and relevance to their high school experience and will help them become college and career ready. Many of the resources needed to support our AOHS are right in our backyard.
Career academies focus on preparing students for post-secondary education while providing the skills and experience necessary to attain entry-level jobs. Students in career academies typically take both career-themed and academic classes together. These courses are linked to academic and industry standards and encourage high achievement.
WHY CHOOSE NAF?
The National Academy Foundation (NAF) Academy of Health Sciences (AOHS) answers an acute need for professionals in the health sciences field by educating high school students in the principles of biomedical sciences, human body systems, and medical interventions. AOHS prepares students to pursue opportunities in this growing field.
COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS
In addition to learning from career-focused curricula and working on collaborative projects, AOHS students gain critical career knowledge through a series of work-based learning experiences both inside and outside of the classroom. These include job shadowing events, mock interviews, resumé writing workshops, and the culminating experience—a compensated internship.
Local business partners work with educators to provide these opportunities to round out students’ education. By serving on advisory boards and as mentors, business partners provide real world connections that help students understand the pathways to career success.
Graduates of NAF academies complete college faster, earn more, and have stronger ties to their communities than their peers. NAF’s 97% senior graduation rate is a testament to this effort.
Work-Based Learning (WBL) is like "test-driving" a career. It includes everything from classroom guest speakers to internships. WBL is important in each student's career development process.

*See separate tab on the homepage for more information*
Juniors and Seniors in the BAOHS will have the opportunity to apply for and participate in academic and paid internships.
What are academic internships?
MYEP is a program that provides work-based learning opportunities for high school students to have hands-on experiences in areas of academic or career interests prior to college or post- secondary training. MYEP has been in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools for years.
Internships help students obtain a more realistic view of a career area, make better decisions concerning post-secondary education, gain experience and make contacts that may help them when applying for college programs or scholarships.
***If students decide not to do MYEP before graduation (best to do summer between JR and SR year), it will be the students responsibility to find their own internship. The internship does not have to be health science related due to fact the main goal of an internship is for students to gain knowledge in careers and to be career ready.***
