The New Egypt High School Warrior Business Academy is a program designed to educate and prepare students for a commitment to business (Agribusiness) and to develop business leaders in the ever-changing global economy. Warrior Business Academy students will be placed on a four-year academic pathway that will be innovative while addressing “College and Career Readiness” skills. They will gain knowledge in this particular field of study and cover all high school pre-requisites for acceptance into competitive post-secondary institutions. This program will empower students in the development of the key skills; critical thinking/problem solving, research, reading, writing, speaking/presenting, and teamwork, and include subsets of these skills, such as analyzing, reasoning, negotiating and questioning. The rigorous courses will enable students to apply these skills while identifying how the material connects to other academic subjects. Warrior Business Academy students will gain knowledge and skills that are relevant to a range of careers. They will learn about the roles, responsibilities and career paths of specific professions. Students will be exposed to careers both in the classroom or through workplace visits.
