The Equine Pre-Veterinary Academy provides students with an opportunity to pursue a rigorous, accelerated Animal Sciences program to prepare them for studying veterinary medicine or an equally rigorous field at the college level. Due to the challenging science curriculum, this program is recommended for students preparing for a college program in pre-medicine or any field requiring a strong foundation in upper-level sciences. Equine Pre-Veterinary students will be required to complete twenty contact hours at an approved site each year. Seniors will complete an advanced internship program at an animal health care facility, complete research assignments in animal health care/medicine and prepare veterinary case studies.
All students applying for this program must meet the following eligibility criteria:
3.0 GPA and completion of Algebra I or Algebra I Honors during 8th Grade.
Students who take Algebra online via FLVS must complete 50% of coursework by January.
