Entrepreneurship 12 has no pre-requisite. You will set up a business plan to present to hypothetical potential investors. From the legal requirements, to strategy in the market and of course the financing of such a venture, you will walk away with the understanding of what it takes to plan and start-up a business from nothing. An accounting and Excel background is beneficial but not necessary.
Entrepreneurship 12 is available through the Brightspace platform and requires a computer/tablet device. Start by watching the welcome video in the course for an overview of the course. You need to be able to use the Microsoft Office Suite, including Excel & Word, which is available to all EBUS students on their student dashboard (look for the cloud icon to open up Office 365 on your student dashboard when you log in on the EBUS website).
In Explorations in Social Studies 11 students will build a strong foundation across many skill sets, engage in inquiry and community based learning, and improve critical thinking abilities.
Students will explore various perspectives of the past, present, and future of cultures and geography through the lenses of law, social justice, philosophy, and economics. This course will allow students to enhance their understanding of our world and their place in it.
