"Be the Wolf. The Wolf is relentless, never quits, and doesn't look back"

This is a BRAND NEW course offering at Ranch View! 2025-2026 will be the first year this course is available and we are so excited for the possibilities! It will give our students and school community an opportunity to delve further into the world of Career and Technical Education and give us a strong partnership with the TRHS Business department as well as Colorado Future Business Leaders of America. 

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course introduces basic business and entrepreneurship concepts to students through the exploration of key topics.  The course examines the elements of a business as it relates to society and the overall economy. It surveys the concepts of career development, business ownership, finance and accounting, economics, marketing, management, operations, human resources, and business ethics.

Students electing this course should have the ability to work collaboratively in small and large groups as well as be self-directed. These students have the privilege of being in the first business and entrepreneurship class at RVMS and building the FBLA student organization. They must possess a strong sense of attention to detail, creativity, time commitment, problem solving, perspective, responsibility, and the ability to produce high quality projects and presentations. 

ELECTRONIC DEVICE: 

At RVMS, our goal is for every student to have a computer to use throughout the school day.  We believe this level of access to technology is vital in preparing students for the world in which they live.  A Bring Your Own Device Initiative encourages students to move from textbook readers to worldwide researchers, empowers students to take control of their personalized learning, and enables students to use their understanding of technology for the betterment of their education.

Please visit the RVMS Website for details. The Business classroom will have team computers to use as needed. Students must bring their own computers and chargers every day!
