Bronx Health Sciences High School

This school is designed for students to explore the health sciences and related health career opportunities. Our young adults are equipped with the necessary literacy and scientific problem solving skills that enable them to become life-long learners while gaining a sense of personal and community responsibility. We emphasize literacy, character development, sensitivity, tolerance, and leadership as crucial components. Through partnerships with Lehman College and Council for Unity, students are exposed to special programs and resources. Academic requirements include the completion of four years of science, math, health sciences, community service, internships, and a portfolio assessment.
