Bio-Med Science Academy is a public STEM+M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine) high school located on the campus of the Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) in Rootstown, Ohio, United States. It is a charter school established in August 2012 that, as of August 2015, includes grades 9–12. The academy began with an initial freshmen class of 70 students. 119 students were admitted for the 2013–14 academic year, 109 were accepted for the 2014–15 year and 110 for the 2015–16 year.^[1]

The school operates on a year-round academic schedule and is a member of the Akron hub of the Ohio Stem Learning Network.^[2] It is housed on the third floor of the NEOMED Education and Wellness (NEW) Center, which opened in August 2014. Previously, the school was located in another part of the NEOMED campus for the first two academic years. Bio-Med Science Academy was granted Ohio STEM designation in April 2013. Within its first year, the school claimed first place at the Regional Engineer Career Day, competing against many different local schools with more experienced students.
