Business Education @ Wayland High School

Wayland High School’s Business Education program, at its core, aims to provide a curriculum, which changes in anticipation of emerging paradigm shifts in the business world today. While the coursework is intended to engage and challenge both those students who go on to post secondary education and those who will enter the work force upon graduation, students will find that the course material is similar to that generally offered in first and second year college/university business courses.

The courses aim to make students sustain a passion for understanding all levels of the modern business organization, investing operations, and economy in its globalized state.

The Business Education program offers an array of courses, which provides students with the flexibility to explore different business fields in response to his/her changing interests. Vision plus opportunism with regard for ethical behavior, social responsibility, and sustainable development drive the Business Education program of Wayland High School today.
