Introduction
Welcome to the THS Business Department
Business courses enable high school students to make informed decisions that prepare them to engage as active citizens in a dynamic global society and to successfully meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century global workplace. These skills include financial literacy, business strategy and planning, and the skills students need to be lifelong learners who have the knowledge and skills to adapt to an evolving workplace and world.
No matter one’s future plans, THS Business Education courses help all students to become financially sound and fiscally responsible, and to develop an understanding of basic business principles in the areas of accounting, marketing, finance and economics. These courses also develop students’ leadership, teamwork and public speaking skills. Course offerings are designed for students who are interested in post-secondary business studies, as well as for those who plan to open their own businesses or who want to gain a foundation in practical business-related knowledge and skills.
