Mission Statement
The High School for Medical Professions (HSMP) is a thematic high school located in Brooklyn that is designed for students in exploring and preparing for a career in the health care and/or pharmaceutical field. Our mission is to engage students in the academic rigor needed to guarantee a quality education for all children ranging from those who struggle to learn to the most gifted. Partnerships with selected members of the health and pharmaceutical industries will provide additional support such as internships, professional development and other available resources to further assist our school in preparing graduates to excel in their post-secondary education and chosen career. Our student-focused program of studies will foster the academic and personal excellence necessary to meet or exceed state standards as well as to promote productive members of society who diversity, value differences and demonstrate the ability to adapt and prosper in the ever-changing world around them. HSMP faculty and partner understand the challenges faced in supporting the individual needs of all learners and pledge as a school community to provide each child with the personalized attention necessary to reach their educational potential and emotional maturity.
About This Cause
HSMP is a college-preparatory high school with a focus on medical studies. We seek to prepare students for college and beyond by fostering their communication skills, strong reading and writing, and analytical thinking. Academic Rigor Based on the idea that medicine is a captivating lens for learning, and that the skills necessary for medical profession are universal, we offer a rigorous academic program that engages students through issues of medicine. Teachers plan collaboratively so that what students learn in one class is strongly reinforced by instruction in other classes. Work is project-based, challenging, and heavily infused with reading and writing. Evaluation methods are transparent so that students can track their own progress. Supportive Relationships Because we are a small school, every student is known. Teachers are aware of every student's strengths and needs. Our belief in the importance of interpersonal relationships between students and staff is exemplified in our nationally recognized Advisory program. Integrated Partnerships At HSMP, we believe that school is not a rehearsal for life, it is life. Students need to understand the relevance of what they are learning—either because they see its value in their own lives, its utility in the professional world or, most abstractly, because they realize it is part of the process of "becoming successful". We have developed a number of community and corporate partnerships through which our students interact with the professional world and become aware of those vital connections.
