Kensington Health Sciences Academy Reviews
Rating 3.67 out of 5 45 reviews
They had the program I need to pursue and figure out my career pathway. They offer GEAR-UP, college campus visits, fee waivers for college applications & tests, classes that help with life skills, so much diversity, respect for people's religion beliefs, gender identity, culture, race, color of skin, ethnicity, and language. They prepare us not only for college, but also for the real world.
Great school! Teachers Really Care and give their time to each kid. Clubs are great too! Give Poetry club a try if you decide to attend
I never thought I’ll be attending Kensington Health and Sciences Academy, but they are super welcoming and they offer the CTE program that I was very interested in. They have nursing, pharmacy, and dental. I was put in Dental and I absolutely love it. The CTE program provides health-related courses like learning about the human body and whether you’re in nursing, pharmacy or dental, you learn more about that. Attending the school has showed me how truly important education is and how it can change your life for the best. The school has even given me, and six other students, the opportunity to travel to Italy, which was my dream place to travel. They also helped me get into St. Christopher’s Hospital internship that has brought me to awesome experiences about work life and it has encouraged my decision to work in the medical field. Honestly, I’m grateful for their hard work to keep every student on track. I couldn’t be in a better school.
