Curriculum
Get aHead for Business includes two core classes and one optional class:
Starting a Business 101 - This first semester walks students through the steps involved in starting a business, including creative thinking and risk taking. As students complete each chapter, they complete segments of a business plan that coincide with the chapter focus.
Running a Business 201 - The second semester focuses on operating a student-run business in the school, which includes training on business operations, promotion and marketing, pricing strategies, inventory controls, customer service and managing the business throughout the semester.
Owning a Business Tool Kit - This is an independent project that provides tools and resources for students who want to pursue their own business ideas, and results in the creation of a business plan.
