ACCOUNTING 11 <\/b><\/p>\n

(MAC–11 ~ 4 CREDITS APPLIED SKILLS)<\/span><\/p>\n

Accounting is the backbone of the commerce programs offered at all universities and colleges. Learning these fundamental skills now will prepare students for both the rigor of undergraduate business education and the ability to effectively communicate and manage personal financial situations. In this introductory course students will learn to record business transactions and prepare and analyze financial statements. This course involves multiple field trips to explore how financial information is used in a variety of businesses to aid in decision-making. Competitive simulations both online and in the classroom will be used to put theories learned into practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

ECONOMICS STRATEGIES PROGRAM (ESP)<\/b><\/p>\n

The Economic Strategies Program is designed to create a community of students with a passion for business education. Consequently, it melds two senior business courses into a comprehensive, interactive learning program. Students will attend Economics 12 as part of their regular school rotation and E-Commerce 12 will be offered after school on Mondays, bi-weekly, for 2.5\u00a0 hours after school. Students will be expected to collaborate in group based learning environments which replicate the team based approach that most organizational structures utilize. In order to be part of the ESP program, students must enroll in both courses. These courses are not offered independently as students will be expected to collaborate with the entire cohort and course material is closely linked between the programs. Students will have two instructors for the duration of this program, matching the collaborative learning model we expect students to utilize.<\/p>\n

*The ESP program has a fee of $20 which allows students to engage in robust simulations. There may also be additional fees for any field trips*<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

ECONOMICS 12<\/b><\/p>\n

(MEC–12 ~ 4 CREDITS)<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do people behave the way they do?\u00a0 Why are \u201cSupreme\u201d branded products so scarcely available?\u00a0 How do <\/span><\/i>people, companies, and countries make decisions about how to distribute resources that they have available to them?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

To study economics is to understand how everyday human behaviour impacts the production, distribution and ultimately, the consumption of goods and services.\u00a0 The concepts this course will explore will look at both society as a whole and its application to individual behaviour.\u00a0 <\/span>This course will help students understand how and why money is exchanged in society and will, more importantly, help them understand how the world works.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
