If your middle or high schooler wants to study business, you’re probably looking at some of the country’s best business programs, many of which belong to Top 50 Universities and Ivy Leagues. Prepare your child to study business at Ivy Leagues by enrolling them in Zenith Prep Academy.
The Importance of Business Education and Resources
From finance professionals to marketing executives, the business sphere is a diverse place that connects the world. Zenith Prep Academy’s specialized business programs will nurture your student’s knowledge by introducing them to new topics and resources that prepare them to study business in college.
Preparing for a Business Degree
At Zenith Prep Academy, your child will work with their personalized college counselor to create a balanced profile that will appeal to Ivy League business programs. We will also introduce them to other college prep tools to study business, including:
Prep Courses
Most high schools don’t teach detailed business curriculums that explain what a P/E Ratio is or teach students how to do a SWOT analysis. Zenith offers structured Mini MBA course that help students learn these analytical skills early so that they can start applying that knowledge.
Business Competitions
Even at the high school level, students can enter business and entrepreneurship competitions, both as individuals or as part of a team. The specific competitions that a student might want to do will vary depending on the student’s interest. The upside of these business competitions is that if a student can perform well in them in the early years of high school, then they can set up their resume for internships or other opportunities in the future. Zenith counselors help students understand how to get started on these competitions.
Real World Experience
For students who have proven that they are motivated and can follow through, the logical next step is to have them move from structured competitions and courses to getting out in the business world and learning by doing. Sometimes it makes sense for a student to actually get a paying hourly job (college admissions readers will always consider an hourly wage job at Starbucks to be more impressive than a cushy do-nothing internship at your uncle’s company). Other Zenith students have started their own small companies from the ground up using the skills they learned from their courses and competitions.
Networking
Most good things that come about in the business world do not come from raw talent and intellectual ability. Those abilities only matter if your student is able to reach out and start networking with different professionals and finding the connections that can make for a meaningful internship or business opportunity. Zenith counselors coach their students on how to network and how to build a resume that will make that networking outreach effective.
Not every student is able to go from wanting to study business to building something tangible before they start college. But that is the kind of achievement that will help you stand out! Zenith counselors can guide you on the path to making a difference.
