Academic Programs
Medical Sciences is a program in which exceptional students in the sciences and mathematics are able to advance their studies in those fields. Some required classes in this program include Biochemistry/Organic Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, and Statistics. A unique required class, Research, involves the creation and experimentation of year long individual research projects culminating in presentations of each students findings. In previous years, students' research projects have been selected for statewide presentations and competitions as well as the Intel Science Talent Search.
Freehold also houses the Computer Science Academy. This specialized academy teaches students about computers, with most of its focus on programming in languages such as Java, Visual Basic, and C++. The program also features study in topics such as data structures and discrete mathematics.
The Culinary Arts / Hospitality Management Academy allows students to work in the student-run, one hundred-seat, fine dining restaurant serving the public, catered events, and school functions. In 2005, the program was selected to present sample menu / recipes at Princeton University’s Garden State Series.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or programs:
“The academic expectations for a child just beginning school are minimal. You want your child to come to preschool feeling happy, reasonably secure, and eager to explore and learn.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
