Academy of Business & Finance
Welcome to the Academy of Business & Finance, a unique school-within-a-school approach to education designed to prepare students for future academic and career success. We are a member of NAF (formerly the National Academy Foundation), a national, non-profit organization helping high schools develop academies throughout the United States. NAF is a national network of educational, business, and community leaders who work together to ensure high school students are college, career, and future ready.
Our Academy students come to the program with a variety of interests and abilities, but all are looking for a different high school experience that will provide them with the knowledge and skills that will take them from high school to advanced education or training, and beyond.
