Q309 Academy of Medical Technology: A College Board School

A public high school with a specialized focus runs at 8-21 Bay 25th St, turning a Far Rockaway block into a hub of early medical-tech learning. Q309 Academy of Medical Technology: A College Board School prepares students for college-level work and health-care pathways without leaving the neighborhood. They blend AP coursework with hands-on lab work and partner with local clinics for job-shadowing rotations. College-readiness seminars and mock board exams round out the academic load, keeping students on track for competitive programs. Early exposure sets them apart—intro labs start in ninth grade, while upperclassmen tackle certifications in phlebotomy or EKG operation. Internships at nearby hospitals and nursing homes give seniors a practical edge before graduation day arrives. College credit courses through local community colleges add depth without extra travel time, which matters in Rockaway where transit options can be limited.
