Bio-Med Science Academy, a year-round public STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) high school located on the campus of Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED), has announced the acceptance of more than 100 students for its fall 2014 freshman class. This will be the first time the Academy’s incoming students begin their high school careers in the new NEOMED Education and Wellness Center.
The new location will provide Bio-Med students with a unique physical learning environment and enriched academic opportunities. Slated to open in August 2014, the facility will house not only academic spaces but also numerous community-facing services and facilities.
The class of 2018 will include students from Mahoning, Portage, Stark, Summit, and Trumbull Counties, representing more than 20 school districts in Northeast Ohio.
Students who missed the deadline and remain interested in attending the Academy are encouraged to submit an application for the wait-list. If accepted students decide not to enroll prior to the first day of classes, students from the wait-list will be considered for admittance based on the order in which applications are received.
Bio-Med Science Academy is a tuition-free public STEM+M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Medicine) high school that is open to any student in Ohio, but was developed to serve students primarily from rural communities in Portage County and other surrounding counties. The Academy offers an innovative and progressive learning environment that cultivates academic excellence and rigor in the STEM+M disciplines while nurturing creativity, inventiveness, and community in its students.
