Metro Academy of Health

A Learning Community
for the First Two Years of College
with Programs at City College of San Francisco & SF State

Metro Academy of Health was developed to support the next generation of leaders in health education in urban communities. Each Metro Academy is a ‘school within a school’ to give you an educational home in your first two years of college.  Metro gives you personalized support for college success through in-class academic support and tutoring. At the core of Metro is a learning community made up of two linked courses each semester, pairing a general education course and a Metro Health course. In Metro Academy, you will build a solid foundation for college success and meaningful work in urban health and human services.

"They helped bring my writing skills up, stressing that my writing had to be at a certain level. They were very supportive and helpful. I always felt that I could do it. They made me feel comfortable that I could be a success at SFSU."
