ACADEMICS AT O’DOWD

As a learning community, we are committed to offering students a wide breadth of unique courses and relevant learning opportunities to explore their interests, nurture their passions, and develop their own academic path.

“O’Dowd introduced me to how much I like science. I started in Science and the Environment in 9th grade, and now I’ve taken Biology, Honors Chemistry, AP Biology, and Environmental Science. It’s cool how we can customize our course load at O’Dowd, because I’ve been able to keep exploring science. I want to be a medical professional with a focus on the Black community.”
