Academics and Curricula

The Academy of Allied Health and Science offers a rigorous curriculum that emphasizes exposure to health occupations and the sciences.

Block schedule:  There are four class periods each day. Each class lasts for eighty-five minutes; classes are taught for one-half of the school year.

Honors: All students at the Monmouth Academy of Allied Health and Science are enrolled in the same curriculum. Having compared our curriculum guides with those of neighboring schools honors programs, we found that our courses compare favorably in level, rigor, comprehensiveness, scope and sequence.  No courses will be designated as honors because all are taught at the honors level.

Clinical Experiences: Freshmen have the opportunity to visit a variety of Health Care delivery providers; Sophomores serve as volunteers at Jersey Shore Medical Center, rotating through the departments; Juniors research, create and deliver a service project designed around identified community needs; Seniors participate in an eight-week mentorship program.  They work side by side with a health care professional for six hours a week providing services for clients or patients.  At the conclusion of the mentorship, each student delivers a multimedia presentation in a seminar of peers and mentors.  This summative exposition helps the student to gain perspective on their clinical experience and informs other students on the variety and scope of health professions.

College Prepatory Opportunities: Graduating seniors will have achieved the following college credits: Georgian Court College- Cell and Molecular Biology; University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey- Dynamics of Health Care in Society, Anatomy and Physiology I, Anatomy and Physiology II, Emergency and Clinical Care, Medical Terminology, Nutrition and Medical Math.
