ACCESS High Students learn important academic skills in an applied academic setting. That means that they learn to apply academics during a real world setting. What can be more real-world than business? 

We operate retail enterprises that not only generate money to the organization but teach valuable skills.

Students gain experience in economics, profit and loss, marketing, packaging, merchandise management, customer service, money, inventory, and specific skills related to the industry of ceramics and horticulture.

Students operate a retail greenhouse with seasonal plant sales. They also produce and sell hand painted ceramic pieces that are available at student sales and by special order. Finally, students make craft products that can be sold in the retail industry such as soaps, candles, and other craft items.
