AP Business with Personal Finance introduces students to the knowledge and skills they’ll need to grow their careers, manage money, and get a head start toward the most popular college major in the U.S. Developed in partnership with college faculty and industry leaders, the yearlong course offers students the opportunity to earn college credit and an employer-endorsed credential. What Is Career Kickstart? ➔ Build professional skills through real-world scenarios. ➔ Earn both college credit and employer-endorsed credential ➔ Explore career interests while gaining the AP experience Future Possibility: AP Cybersecurity COLLEGE BOARD eo LLG US LIVUGALU November 11, 2025 S: College Board announced today a strategic partnership with three of the nation’s leading career and technical education organizations (CTSOs) and the National Business Education Association (NBEA). This partnership will help more students gain access to one of College Board's new AP” Career Kickstart™ courses: AP Business with Personal Finance. College Board's collaboration will expand opportunities for members of Business Professionals of America (BPA), DECA, and Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) as they prepare for life after high school through enhanced resources that support both academic and career success. BPA, DECA, FBLA, and NBEA advisors will also benefit from access to training and resources to guide students on exam preparation, scholarships, and admissions. Career Kickstart courses combine the decades of college-level rigor that AP is known for with industry-guided relevance and are designed to build valuable skills that prepare students for high-demand, high-wage careers. Students who complete the courses will be eligible to earn college credit and an employer-endorsed credential that opens doors for students interested in two- and four-year colleges, technical schools; apprenticeships; the military; or direct entry into the workforce. “We're thrilled that our partnerships with BPA, DECA, FBLA, and NBEA will augment AP Business with Personal Finance classroom learning with cocurricular programming such as competitions, conferences, and other hands-on experiences focused on career and professional development,” said Jennifer Mulhern, vice president of AP Program Access. “The deep expertise these organizations have in developing emerging leaders and entrepreneurs complements our work to build rigorous courses that do more than just count toward a high school diploma.” Launching in the fall of 2026, AP Business with Personal Finance is a yearlong high school business and personal finance course that aligns closely with a college-level introduction to business course. Students will explore the business disciplines of entrepreneurship, marketing, finance, accounting, and management through real-world business applications, case studies, and project based learning. In addition, students will learn and apply all the National Standards for Personal Financial Education created by the Council for Economic Education and the JumpStart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy. Graduate Testimonial - Dual Enrollment Here's how SUNY/AP Credit from CHHS helped me at the University of Michigan, specifically for my BBA program at the Ross School of Business: SUNY credit is 100% better than AP, but both still help you. My major requires 2 types of credit fulfillments outside my standard business classes; I must complete 9 credits in 3 out of 4 subjects ("distributions") (Math/Science, Social Sciences, Humanities, or Foreign Language). Additionally, I must have 54 non-business credits, of which overlap with the distribution credits. For any AP classes I took at CHHS and scored an acceptable score (usually a 4 or 5), I earned 3-4 credits towards the 54. However, only SUNY classes count for the distributions. I chose the Math/Science, Humanities, and Foreign Language distributions. SUNY/AP Statistics gave me 4/9 credits done for Math/Science 3/9 credits for SUNY/American History (if I hadn't forgotten to sign up for the second semester of SUNY American, I would have 6/9 credits done). My 5 on the AP Calculus AB exam gave me credit for Calculus 1, which is a first-year requirement, so I never have to take another math class (unless I elect to do one for the Math/Science distribution)! If there's any takeaway SUNY is very much worth the extra cost! Across AP and SUNY credits, I started college with 30 out of my 54 non-business credits finished; that's two semesters at Michigan, and if my major allowed it, I could graduate a year early (since they don't, I just have more freedom to take business electives or pace myself). I also got an earlier course selection date because I have more credits than other people. “ “ Project Lead the Way Opportunities (PLTW) e e Project Lead the Way Opportunities (PLTW) PLIW PLIVW ALGEBRA 1 (a) ADVANTAGE Pathways to Success _ Coz] eee —_—o. for Middle and High School .

Building a Culture Where Service Counts at Croton-Harmon High School At Croton-Harmon High School, community service isn't an afterthought, it's woven into the fabric of student life. With a required 25 hours for graduation (set by the local Board of Education), 40 hours for National Honor Society eligibility, and many students going far beyond those benchmarks, volunteerism plays a meaningful role in how students grow, lead, and prepare for what's next. And since 2021, Helper Helper has helped the school turn that culture of service into something measurable, visible, and sustainable now surpassing 40,000+ logged hours.
