The New Brunswick Scholars' Saturday Academy provides an opportunity for 11th grade students from the New Brunswick High School and the New Brunswick Health Sciences Technology High School to enhance their understanding of mathematical and scientific concepts and application, and to improve their writing and reading comprehension skills. The program is designed to strengthen problem-solving skills, abstract reasoning, critical thinking and written/oral expression.

Coupled with SAT preparation and other academic components, the New Brunswick Scholars are also introduced to experimental science in both laboratory and classroom settings, as well as computer-related activities. In addition, the Saturday Academy hosts guest speakers every week from different professional tracks particularly those from the science or health-allied professions. The speakers are able to provide the students with realistic perspectives about the time, effort, and energy that are invested into a potential career choice. Lastly, the primary goal and hope of the Academy is to develop competitive students for college admission and scholarships.
