The Academy of Finance (AoF) helps students develop professional skills, receive specialized instruction in business finance and management, and gain an awareness of the marketable skills needed to be successful in the workplace.
The AoF is housed at each SMCPS high school.
The Academy of Finance is a School of Business Finance and Management. Academy students develop professional skills, receive specialized instruction in business finance and management, and gain an awareness of the marketable skills needed to be successful in the field. Students may also acquire practical experience via field trips, internship opportunities, and course projects.
Learning experiences unique to the AoF include the opportunity to earn college credit through AP courses and/or dual-enrollment. Students are also provided the opportunity to work with a skilled and knowledgeable Program Advisory Council, a group of business and community partners that mentor the AoF students. Students develop the transferable skills (analytical, technical, presentation, higher-order thinking, problem-solving, and communication) that are paramount to college and career success as well as success in business-related fields.
