Prepare for Your Future Now
Business Technology Academy Brochure
High-tech classrooms are the foundation of the Deer Valley High School Business-Tech Academy, a California Partnership Academy, since 1998. Tenth to Twelfth grade students will be afforded the opportunity to use a computer in the classroom when they need one, which in the 21st century, is every day, and essentially every hour in the rapidly changing world of technology.
Students in the Academy will be provided a curriculum focused on a business theme with related standards-based academic classes and career-technical classes implementing supplemental technology. Increased communication between teachers, students, and parents; increased student engagement; increased frequency of writing and revisions; and increased individualized instruction are all goals of The Business-Tech Academy.
Students in English classes will create personal educational blogs and place their documents in digital lockers using various computer programs and software applications.
In their social studies classes, students will also use innovative ways to infuse technology into the curriculum. The Internet provides a way for students to get information in mere seconds rather than searching through printed materials.
Math instructors in the Business-Tech Academy using Inter-write Boards and Pads along with student response systems providing instant feedback will bring technology to the math classes.
Combining academic classes with career- technology classes such as Computer Applications, Marketing, Web Design, and Introduction to Business with workplace learning opportunities including job shadowing, internships, and work experience will better prepare Academy students for their future.
Students interested in participating in the Business-Tech Academy will be provided an application during course sign-ups.
