Description
Elite Academy of Science & Technology is a coed Jewish high school located in Brooklyn, New York. We welcome students who are serious about their education and want a rigorous college preparatory program that will prepare them to be accepted to the college of their choice. Our students have to respect Jewish traditions while engaging in challenging college preparatory work. Our students come from a variety of educational institutions: public, private, and Jewish day schools. EAST has always attracted and educated a wide spectrum of Jewish families who want their children to receive a quality secular education alongside a traditional Jewish education. EAST students are from diverse Jewish backgrounds, and there is no requirement for students to come from observant homes. Jewish Studies courses are taught with careful consideration and the utmost sensitivity to student’s academic ability and level of observance.
We are the only Jewish high school in Brooklyn with a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) BioMedical Program. This revolutionary extra curricular program gives our students a distinct edge in their high school Science education and prepares them for the greater demands of college-level study.
The Biomedical Sciences (BMS) program is a rigorous set of courses, all following the national learning standards, dealing with real-world problem solving. Students study the concepts of medicine exploring topics such as microbiology, public health, genetics, and physiology, including dissecting a heart and examining the structures of the body. Students will learn how to develop strong organizational, problem-solving skills and facilitate critical thinking in order to diagnose and treat diseases using innovative solutions in the 21st century.
