SCHOOL OF BUSINESS (SOB)

Treston Senior High School prepares students for higher education, employment, or entrepreneurship. The first year of Senior High School develops the student’s knowledge, skills, and potentials through hands-on learning and innovative teaching strategies. The Academic Track - Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM) strand focuses on the basic concepts of financial management, business management, corporate operations, as well as related aspects to these central fields. There are four specializations in ABM during this level: Organization and Management, Applied Economics, Fundamentals of Accountancy, Business, and Management I, and Principles of Marketing that are specifically tailored for students to excel in their chosen field of specialization.

In the last year of Senior High School, Grade 12 students finish meeting their graduation requirements. The Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM) strand specializations that they will obtain on this level are the Fundamentals of Accountancy, Business, and Management II, Business Finance, Business Ethics and Social Responsibility, Business Math, and Business Enterprise Simulation to apply their competencies in authentic business environments. ABM would lead students to careers in management and accounting.

The general education courses introduce students to various domains of knowledge and ways of comprehending social and natural realities. In this program, intellectual competencies, such as critical, analytical and creative thinking, and multiple forms of expression are developed. The course also enhances a student’s civic capacities needed as a member of the community, country, and the world.

The core and professional courses of the BS Entrepreneurship program instills among the students the mindset of a real entrepreneur. These courses teach the students to constantly search for opportunities that can improve the lives of people in society, as well as their own. They are also taught to know the techniques and tools on how to effectively run their enterprises in the most sustainable way.

The professional courses strengthen the skills and attitudes of the BS Entrepreneurship students. Courses will prepare them well, simulated with situations that they will most likely encounter once they set up their own enterprises. Towards the end of their academic requirements, they will be subjected to the creation of the appropriate feasibility studies and business plans, and ultimately put to test their learning by preparing, establishing, managing and growing their own enterprise.
