Career Academies

The Academy of Biomedical Sciences

Principles of Biomedical Science represents one of four courses of the Biomedical Science Program offered by PLTW (Project Lead the Way https://www.pltw.org/our-programs/pltw-biomedical-science). As part of the PLTW Program, this course (PBS), is designed to offer a novel learning environment based on problem solving, designed specifically to educate students in both the hands-on and conceptual skills foundational in a wide array of careers in the biomedical industry. PLTW courses are delivered in the following manner, described as the APB approach. Students first perform various activities (A) which allow them to familiarize themselves with concepts and tools, next they are asked to apply this information to complete a project (P), then ultimately students are asked to apply all they have learned to a novel, real world problem (B).  Each unit below includes 3 sections reflecting this APB approach. This course is heavily focused on collaboration and critical thinking skills.  

The Academy of Engineering

The Engineering Program at Naples High School is composed of a five course sequence designed to help students explore technology-related careers and to prepare them for two or four year college programs. Each class uses state-of-the-art technology equipment and software, and is taught in a laboratory setting that involves projects rather than lectures to learn the material. Classes focus on problem solving and encouraging students to work in teams. In many cases, students may actually earn credit through special agreements with area colleges and vocational schools.
