At the same time, there will be a smaller number of young people entering the work force. That means there will be a high demand for students prepared to enter the industry. The Academy of Finance Magnet Center gives high school students an opportunity to learn about and prepare for careers in financial services. College-bound students and those who want to enter the work force directly after high school can benefit from Academy coursework. The Academy bridges the gap between the classroom and the workplace.
Students also learn about trends and future career opportunities in the industry.
In addition to required academic courses, students in the Academy of Finance take specialized courses. To prepare ninth and tenth grade students for specialized courses, they are encouraged to develop typing and computer skills and to participate in Academy courses. Each trimester eleventh and twelfth grade students take one or two specialized courses. These courses have been developed by leading educators and industry experts. 700 22nd Ave.
