A particularly significant aspect of our research program is that the students select the scientific question that they will be studying and do not receive preliminary data for their projects.

The labs at BCA are functional, professional entities not normally found in a high school setting. They include agriscience, mechatronics, optics, nanotechnology, cell/molecular biology (including Next Generation Sequencing and label-free live cell imaging), nano-structural imaging (including a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)), a Financial Markets Lab (equipped with Bloomberg terminals), and a variety of other research opportunities.

Our research program has produced three Presidential Scholars, twelve Regeneron STS Finalists (four in the Top Ten), over 100 Regeneron STS Scholars, multiple Davidson Fellows, several ISEF "Best in Category", numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals, a participant in the White House Science Fair, and a patent-the result of original student research.

Students from any academy can participate in research.
