It was a school where I had to grow, for better or for worse. The school is tiny, so everyone in your grade will know each other. While this let me build some great bonds with people, it also means that you're stuck with the personality people assume you have. Even though we were small, we are cliquey. The education varies in quality. There are some good teachers, but the staff does not communicate with each other and some teachers believe that piling on assignments and making tests incredibly difficult will ensure that the rigor of the curriculum is preserved. However, I learned a ton and it affirmed that medicine was the field for me, and that's a discovery I would not have made in a regular high school. You also learn to develop your sense and understanding of self separate from your grades or education. Everyone here is smart! So you undergo a lot of self introspection and rediscover yourself.
If you get in here, think before you apply. It's a great school and if you are iffy about the medical field this will show you if you are made for it or not. There are labs, experiments, research opportunities, etc. It definitely prepares you for college from what I've heard. Teachers barely teach and those who really care about their students are usually ostracized by the stricter, more "respected" teachers. You will basically have to teach yourself all the material for most classes but it becomes easy. Everyone in your grade and the whole school knows each other which means there can be great friendships and everyone helps each other with everything, but it can also cause a lot of drama and toxicity. If you want to do anything not STEM-related, don't go here. The club selection sucks and there are no non-medical "special"/choice classes. However, this school is fun and I still love it. I love learning things I wouldn't learn elsewhere and the GPA inflation isn't half bad.
The Academy is a great school for those pursuing a career in the health field, whether it be a doctor or a nurse. All "Elective" courses are focused on science-related subjects ranging from Principles of Biomedical Science to Anatomy and Physiology. There is also a decent range of clubs, the most popular ones being HOSA, JSA, and Model UN. The school offers four sports: soccer (co-ed), basketball (girls), softball (girls), and tennis (boys). It is important to understand that the culture of this school is extremely competitive. The main priority of most students is to maintain a high GPA and impress teachers who can write them good letters of recommendation. Therefore, the student population my seem intimidating or non-supportive at first. However, it is important to note that this school has some of the most highly-qualified teachers who share their love for science through stories and make class interesting. Therefore, I would recommend this school if you are interested in medicine.
