Thank you for question. I am glad to know yiu have interest in business. In fact, there are different disciplines in business. You better find what careers you have interest first and then explore tge entry criteria of relevant subjects in college.
Below are my suggestions :
1. Do you have interest in Accounting, Finance, Barking, Marketing, Human Resources, Administration, erc. You can find out more online
2. Find out more on these careers and determine what you have interest
3. Speak to someone who are working in these careers. Seek guidance from your mentor, school careers counselor, your parents, etc
4.Shortlist 1-2 careers you would like to pursue
5. Explore the entry criteria of relevant subjects in college
6. Choose the required subjects in high school
Hope thus helps ! Good luck!
May Almight God bless you!

Hey Aileen! As someone who recently graduated with a degree in Marketing, I would recommend focusing on building a strong academic foundation while exploring electives that interest you. Classes such as Financial Literacy can help you develop practical money management skills, while electives like Photography, Digital Media, or Business-related courses can build creativity, communication, and technical skills that may be useful in future careers.
You will also take core classes such as Math, Science, English, and History. While requirements may vary depending on your school, these subjects are important because they help develop problem-solving, research, analytical, and communication skills that are valuable in business and many other fields. If you are eligible for Honors, AP, or Dual Enrollment courses, they can also help strengthen your academic background and prepare you for college-level work.
Your school counselor or advisor will help guide you through your course selections and graduation requirements. My biggest recommendation is to do your best in your classes, stay involved, and take advantage of opportunities that help you build skills, experiences, and certifications that can benefit you long after high school. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know!
Freshman Year: Focus on building a strong foundation with classes such as English I, Algebra I or Geometry, Biology, and World History. This is also a great time to explore electives like Financial Literacy, Photography, Business, or Digital Media if your school offers them.
Sophomore Year: Continue developing your core skills through English II, Geometry or Algebra II, Chemistry, and U.S. History. Consider taking business-related, computer, or communication electives to discover areas that interest you.
Junior Year: Challenge yourself with more advanced courses, such as Honors, AP, or Dual Enrollment classes if available. Classes like Economics, Government, Marketing, or Entrepreneurship can help you gain a better understanding of the business field.
Senior Year: Focus on completing graduation requirements while taking courses that align with your future goals, such as Statistics, Business electives, or college-level classes. This is also a great time to pursue certifications, internships, or other opportunities that can strengthen your college and career readiness.
