Students enrolled in Business Accelerator can earn credits in English, Science, Social Studies, Business, and/or Marketing that fulfill graduation requirements. Business Accelerator focuses on success-ready skills and the real-life application of these content areas through client-connected projects that align with students' passions and interests. Utilizing the design thinking process, students develop solutions to real-world challenges that meet the needs of local businesses and community partners. Students will demonstrate mastery of learning standards in their selected content areas through their work on project teams. Any standards that cannot be met through projects will be taught and assessed through scheduled "seminars", which resemble a more traditional classroom setting and are designed for students to better understand a particular concept or standard.
