Teacher FAQ

Our curriculum focuses on core competency development, identifies as project-based learning, and uses inquiry-based activities to derive high engagement with students. For elementary we meet a number of prescribed learning outcomes in areas of goals and decisions, social studies, language arts, mathematics, and health and career. For middle we meet areas of social studies, language, the arts, mathematics, and health and career. For high school we meet outcomes directly related to courses in business education, planning, economics, marketing, and entrepreneurship.

In grades K-8, we suggest creating one business as a class. Working together as a class on one business ensures the best possible learning experience for your students. In grades 9-12 we suggest classrooms work on one business or operate a few small businesses with a minimum of four students per business. In this case, each business will be given a $100 micro-loan.
