From their first year, students engage in hands-on activities and experiments that bring science to life. With access to modernized equipment and innovative learning tools—including 3D body system models, CPR training kits, and suture practice materials—our Falcons gain the skills and confidence to explore human medicine, physiology, genetics, microbiology, and public health.

What Students Experience

  • Practicing CPR, taking vitals, and performing sutures

  • Leading and participating in schoolwide blood drives

  • Exploring real-world careers like neurologist, epidemiologist, nurse, ultrasound technician, and more

  • Using models and simulations to understand the human body and diseases

  • Learning the science of empathy and community care through health-focused projects

Why It Matters

Our Biomedical Sciences Pathway not only prepares students for college and careers—it also helps them discover what kind of healthcare leader they want to become. Whether it’s medicine, research, or public health, students come away with a clear understanding:

There is a place for everyone in the healthcare field—and the common goal is helping people.

There are many ways to heal the world. Let’s find yours.
