Overview

A public charter school for grades 6–12 in the South Bronx that combines college-prep academics with hands-on healthcare training. It operates with public funding and independent governance and partners with Urban Health Plan to give students clinical experiences and access to a school-based health clinic, with options to earn CFR and EMT certifications by graduation along with AP courses, SAT prep, and college advising. It differentiates itself as the first NYC charter to offer a healthcare-focused CTE pathway and by building a local pipeline of minority healthcare professionals through community ties and a certification-based route to employment. Its goal is to prepare graduates for college success and well-paying, meaningful jobs in healthcare while helping reduce health and economic disparities in the community.
