The Academy of Entrepreneurship teaches students the full process of transforming an idea into a business. Seniors work together to build a virtual business in a virtual economy and compete within VEI to build and run a virtual business. NSITE entrepreneurs gain resume-worthy certifications such as ESB while leading and collaborating with other academies through grade-level projects. These students will compete locally and nationally at the highest level, write a captivating business plan, harness social media marketing, capture the interest of investors, and leave equipped to continue their entrepreneurial journey.
All NSITE students will take the standard core courses, but it is recommended that all students take English at the Advanced level for all four years and all social studies courses at the Advanced level through U.S. History. All freshmen will take AP Human Geography. Your counselor will work with you to ensure that you meet all graduation and academy requirements. NSITE students must complete 6 NSITE credits prior to graduation and must be enrolled in at least one NSITE class each year.
NSITE Magnet School offers students the opportunity to enroll in a Dual Credit Pathway with Palo Alto College. Students can earn up to 18 hours of Dual Credit leading to a Business Operations Level 1 Certificate.
