The Zoo Academy

The Cincinnati Zoo Academy has been a part of the public school system in Cincinnati since 1975. In 1995, the program underwent a substantial change from a strictly vocational program with an emphasis on natural resources and wildlife management to a four year college preparatory program where the students earn vocational degrees by working with zoo keepers for two hours a day.

Students spend their ninth and tenth grade years in the Cincinnati Academy of Mathematics and Science (CAMAS) at Hughes Center. Their eleventh and twelfth grade years are spent at the Zoo Academy.

We are looking for students interested in an academically challenging program with an emphasis on science, plants, and animals.
