Union Square Academy for Health Sciences

"If I could give this school infinity stars I would. School hasn't even started yet and just from the 3 days I attended this school for a summer bridge/orientation I love it so much. The teachers really care about you and your future and the curriculum is amazing. They have so many clubs and different sports you can play, the teachers/councilors also advise you on what you can do to make your college application or resume stronger. Unlike other high schools the students here are respectful and so far I've already made a lot of friends. If you are an 8th grader or even a 9th grader and you know you want to work in the health field USAHS is perfect for you. In the first year they teacher general health and then in 10th you can decide between the dentistry and pharmacy program, (just because you choose either does not mean you have to become either when you grow up lol) they have *paid* internships once you become a senior and they are partners with prestigious universities and colleges like St. John's, NYU college of dentistry, and Cleary law firm. The seniors told me they take the students on trips there to tour those colleges. I've heard of so many fun trips and projects you can do here from the seniors that gave us a school tour. I love this school and cant wait to join the school on september 8th!"

"My son just finished his second year. Overall is a good school. The teachers are caring and try to ensure all students are treated fairly and given and food education. Mr Ascona the principal always responds to me and has followed through on his word."

"My daughter goes to this school; she was accepted in the pharmacy technician program but might switch to The Dental Assistant program. Every student has the opportunity to change their program in the 10th grade. She has been enrolled since September and I must say that I am very pleased. The teachers are great and really help the children. There is the opportunity for tutoring after school as well as various clubs. The principle is great and communicative. He ensures that he knows his students as well as their parents. The children create and perform in talent shows and are taken on educational trips. Next year my other daughter will attend this school- she was accepted into the Dental Assistant program."
