Pathways Of Studies 

The Healthcare Pathway will ensure that students who are interested in a career in health care are prepared to move on to the next step of their journey after high school.  Whether it be entering the workforce directly out of school, attending college in the Health Sciences, or pursuing studies in Pre-Med, the Healthcare Pathway will provide an introduction to the world of healthcare and the human body. 

The Healthcare Pathway is intended to be flexible enough to meet individual needs and interests.  Opportunities exist for students to earn a variety of healthcare certifications prior to high school graduation or take numerous honors or AP courses in Science and Mathematics. Interested students need to complete an application as an eighth grader.

The Mathematics and Science Pathway engages the college-bound student in rigorous study and application of mathematical and science topics in a collaborative, integrated manner. Students will be introduced to research during their freshmen year and are encouraged to pursue their own research interests while enrolling in appropriate Advanced Placement (AP) courses in math and science during their junior and senior years.

This pathway appeals to students with an interest in preparing for careers in Math and Science related fields after undergraduate and possible graduate degrees. This pathway allows for individual flexibility in pursuing an in-depth study of personal interest in the area of Math and Science. 

The Technology and Engineering Pathway is for the college-bound student who wants to focus on technology and project-based learning. This is the logical pathway for the aspiring engineer, but serves a wider range of students who wish to develop and use a design mentality that can be useful in any endeavor. Engineering and technical degrees continue to be lucrative degrees with job opportunities outgrowing degree awardees.

This pathway will prepare a student for college while concentrating on providing opportunities and instruction regarding technical and collaborative work skills. The three engineering courses are strongly project-based and allow students to design, engineer, build and communicate in group settings. Students apply to be in the STEM Academy as eighth graders and then choose either the Technology and Engineering or the Mathematics and Science Pathway as they schedule their sophomore year.
