Medicine & Biosciences

Medicine & Biosciences

Program Overview

Designed for the curious and catered for discovery, the Medicine & Biosciences Program redefines the traditional textbook curriculum. Working on ambitious experiments, the project-based program strengthens student’s problem-solving skills in a variety of settings. Students will take a microscopic look at human body systems, explore various health conditions, and determine medical interventions. The Medicine & Biosciences program provides students enrichment by incorporating real-world experiences that carry over into the broad fields of medicine and biosciences.

“Medicine & Biosciences is not just a class, but something that will prepare you for your future. I love all the different labs and how the teachers will relate not just the learning, but also the skills gained and how you can use those after the class.” – Garrett W., 2019
