Business and Information Academy

   
  • Course Description
  • More Info

This is a great opportunity to acquire first-hand experience in starting and managing a business.  By participating in the operation of a student-run school store, students become aware of the many activities, challenges and decisions involved in starting and running a business.  The store gives the students an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in entrepreneurship, retailing, marketing, customer service, financial management and human resources.  Students learn how to develop a business plan for a product or service of their choice.  We are in partnership with The National Foundation for Entrepreneurship (NFTE) so students may compete in local, regional, and national level competitions where monetary prizes are awarded.
