In addition, we have teamed with Junior Achievement to offer rich business content that is closely integrated with our core curriculum.

Success skills - developing interpersonal effectiveness and problem-solving skills necessary for the workplace
Careers with a purpose – understanding personal strengths, weaknesses and areas of interest
Global business ethics - exploring personal values, character development, and moral and social responsibility
Company Program - with the support and guidance of volunteer consultants from the local business community, students will break into teams to organize and operate an actual business enterprise. They will not only learn how businesses function, they will also develop the skills and character traits of successful entrepreneurs including independence, self-confidence, a strong work ethic, and a passion for success
