HOSA provides students who are pursuing careers in education or health occupations with opportunities to expand their knowledge and develop skills and leadership. These outreach efforts assist HOSA in its mission to enhance the delivery of compassionate, quality health care. Summer Residential Schools provide high school juniors and seniors with intensive educational experiences in a variety of areas, including science and technology. Summer Regional Schools usually are housed at a public school or on the campus of a college or university. The programs may last all day or a few hours a day, and may continue for two to four weeks.
Students return home at the end of each class day.
Academic Year Schools take the place of a student's high school, offering special opportunities in science, mathematics, technology and the arts. If you're still in middle school or the early years of high school, you've got to check out the Tech Prep Programs. Students enter Tech Prep in the 11th grade and remain with the program as they complete high school and a two-year college degree or apprenticeship program. Other areas range from agriculture to engineering. Tech Prep is available at nearly every school division and community college in Virginia.
