Student Curriculum

Health Science

Our redesigned Health Science courses connect students to the science and the big-picture issues shaping health careers. Anatomy & Physiology brings the content of A&P 1 and A&P 2 together into one course. Global Health helps students look at health challenges and solutions around the world. Our Exploring Oral Health modules give students a focused look at dental health careers and how oral health affects whole-body health.

Coming next: During the 2026–27 school year, we’re redesigning two cross-theme courses that work in any pathway: Professional Ethics and Entrepreneurship.
