The Eugene M. Lang Center for Health Sciences is the physical home of the Chester Charter School of the Arts’ new Health Sciences Elective Program, a selective program for high school students in grades 9-12 that takes place during school hours, on Saturdays, and over the summer. Through this program, the high school science curriculum is augmented by the acquisition of healthcare related skills in the classroom setting and internships led by mentors in the local healthcare community. The goal of the program is to expose students to the diverse employment opportunities in the healthcare industry and to equip them with the academic knowledge and practical and interpersonal skills required for success if they choose to pursue careers in this field.
