High School of Business™ (HSB) brings college-inspired business administration courses to high schools across the country. An accelerated series of six courses challenges students with hands-on marketing, management, finance, and economics courses. Students enrolling in HSB cources earn advanced weights towards their GPA and the possibility of college credit at participating colleges for successful course completion.
☆ Make It Real
High School of Business™ is designed to prepare you for college business programs. This means challenging you with real business problems and projects. Yes, you’ll still learn the key concepts you need to know. But you’ll learn new concepts through doing projects—just like business professionals.
☆ Be Challenged
Every High School of Business™ course is written at an accelerated pace. You’ll be challenged each step of the way. You’ll be stretched. Your brain will hurt. But through this, you’ll see firsthand the types of business issues that you’ll face first in college and then in your professional career.
☆ Your Support Team
Behind the scenes at your school, there’s a High School of Business™ Steering Team supporting you. Local business executives and college faculty have teamed up with teachers, counselors, and administrators at the school to build the best possible program for you.
☆ Get the Point
Solving business projects and problems requires you to use math, English, communications, and social sciences skills. Don’t be surprised if you feel like shouting “I get it now!” in a High School of Business™ class. These projects show you why your math and English courses are so important.
☆ Make Connections
High School of Business™ provides many opportunities for you to hear from and talk with local business professionals. There’ll be guest speakers and an observational internship in addition to panels of experts being present at several of your end-of-project presentations.
☆ Get Prepared
Throughout the High School of Business™ program, you’ll gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence you’ll need to be ready for college business programs and business careers.
