Open for Business

Students in the EBM Academy experience a four-year progression of business and marketing classes, engage in cross-curricular, project-based learning, participate in career-technical student organizations (DECA and/or FBLA), and become part of a small, career-focused learning community. EBM Academy graduates have the opportunity to earn industry certificates and participate in career panels, job shadowing, and internships - all while in high school.

Interested in becoming an EBM Academy Student? 

Fill out our Interest Form first. The application and interview process for rising Ninth and Tenth Grade students opens in January until seats are filled.
