Our Mission
|
|
PBS Health Services Academy High School is a free public charter school developed by Alliance College-Ready Public Schools and authorized by the Los Angeles Unified School District, which employs the theme of health care to provide rigorous college-preparatory instruction and application-based curriculum.
Our mission is to equip students in South Los Angeles with the tools necessary to excel in high school, to prepare them to enter and succeed in college, and to motivate them to select health care related majors and careers - areas in which minority students like those in the school community are grossly underrepresented.

ALLIANCE PBS-HSA High School's September Newsletter
Summer Recap
RISE Trip
For a week in late June 2017, 12 PBS-HSA students and 3 PBS-HSA chaperones traveled to New York and Boston to visit colleges and experience life on the east coast. Some highlights were: seeing a ballet at the Metropolitan Opera, visiting Columbia University, Harvard University, and Brooklyn College, as well as going to the Met Art Museum.
UCLA Physician Shadow Program
Our newest cohort of 12th grade students selected to participate in the revolutionary program began their journey with a 3 day long orientation at UCLA. Students had the opportunity to do many things including meet with physicians they'll be working with over the next 9 months, tour the Westwood community, and learn some introductory techniques in the field of medicine. They were also joined by their families for the introductory dinner ceremony. The students conducted their first day of shadowing on August 31st. Check out some of the pictures below!

From June 27 to July 12, 2017, 20 high school students from Southern California visited Japan as part of the
TOMODACHI MUFG International Exchange Program
. One of our very own students, Hector Nava, took part in the program this summer. The program started in 2012 with aims to deepen the mutual understanding between the United States and Japan and to invest in the next generation of leaders.
Every year, students from both countries alternately visit each other's countries. In this 6th year of the program, the participating students visited Tokyo, Sendai, Minamisanriku, Hiroshima, and Kyoto, and experienced various cultural exchange activities and homestays. Through the program, the students were able to better understand U.S.-Japan relations from different perspectives. Here's a look at some of Hector's adventures during the program!
