Bronx Academy of Health Careers

DBN 11X290  •  insideschools.org  •  School Finder  •  2017 School Performance Dashboard
Overview Paragraph

We prepare students for a variety of health professions including medicine, medical technology, nursing, pharmacology, and physical therapy. We familiarize our students with the habits, practices, and educational requirements needed to become a health professional, and provide them with opportunities to volunteer and intern in local healthcare institutions. Students study four years of science and math and become well prepared to meet the challenges of a college education in healthcare. We collaborate with colleges to offer our students an opportunity to take college-level, credit-bearing courses at no cost. Our staff works with parents to ensure students receive the support they need to succeed.
