Entrepreneurship

The entrepreneurship curriculum includes the following courses:

Through dynamic discussions and engaging projects, students come to understand the mindset of entrepreneurs and how business can drive social change. Additionally, students explore the fundamental principles of finding inspiration, product/service creation and prototyping, implementation in the real world, and small-business operational skills.

Through Carnegie Mellon University, qualifying students can earn transferable college credit and receive an official Carnegie Mellon University transcript while still in high school. Additional partnerships, including the University of Delaware's Horn Entrepreneurship program, provide opportunities for advanced study in innovation and venture creation. Through the school's partnership with Westchester Angels students observe entrepreneurs pitch real companies, hear investors evaluate investment opportunities and gain firsthand insight into how promising ventures are funded and grown. These experiences connect classroom learning with the real world, helping students understand how ideas are tested, refined and brought to market.
