Options Include: AP Bio, Chem, Physics IB Environmental Science, Neuroscience, or 3 1-Tri Electives During 12th grade all BCA students spend every Wednesday off campus at their SENIOR INTERNSHIP. So the school week is

  • nly 4 days long!

Seniors have no specific “required” courses in science and are able to design their schedules to address their areas of individual interest.

Wednesdays are special at BCA

AMST students, grade 11 or 12, come together with doctors from surrounding hospitals who provide guidance regarding a career path in medicine. HOSA is a national student organization that promotes career opportunities in the healthcare industry and promotes the delivery of quality healthcare to all people.

Since AMST has existed for over 15 years, many of our alumni have completed graduate school and are now practicing

  • professionals. They continue to

return and advise current students about their career

  • ptions. Their advice also helps

us to revise our curriculum to enable our graduates to succeed.

AMST Graduates

We hope this preview of AMST is exciting to you. While other academies may have had graduates who went onto medical professions, AMST graduates have access to biomedical coursework (Medical Science Seminar, Biotechnology Lab, Cell Physiology and Neuroscience) that other BCA graduates do not have access to.
