This summer, rising 10th grader Frank Jones was nominated by a Montverde Academy faculty member to participate in the National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF): Medicine & Health Care, a unique academic experience at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. With dreams of becoming a surgeon, Frank enjoyed gaining the hands-on medical experience that the forum provided, as well as earning two college credits.
“I am excited for Frank to meet, work, and collaborate with other high-aspiring students from across the country and the globe,” said Dr. Jan Sikorsky, Vice President of Education for Envision. “NYLF Medicine & Health Care is a wonderful opportunity for ambitious young students to explore their interests outside the classroom and discover how to innovate and think creatively through hands-on immersive learning. Our students are challenged with real-world simulations and problems, working together to develop unique solutions and projects to bring life to their studies and career interests.”
