*NEW* AP Business with Personal Finance

Launching in the 2026-27 school year, AP Business with Personal Finance is a yearlong high school business and personal finance course that aligns closely with a college-level introduction to business course. Students explore the disciplines of entrepreneurship, marketing, finance, accounting, and management through real world business applications, case studies, and project based learning. In addition, students learn an apply all the National Standards for Personal Financial Education. 
 
Course Skills:
The AP Business with Personal Finance course framework includes two essential components - business skills and professional and leadership skills - that are critical to the deep understanding and application of business and personal finance content. Students will develop and use these skills throughout the course, including entrepreneurship, decision making, communication, and collaboration. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Because AP courses are taught at a college level, freshmen should enroll only if they already demonstrate advanced writing, reading comprehension, and communication skills; students without this foundation may find the pace and expectations especially challenging.
