Mission Statement

The mission of the International Business Academy is to develop future leaders in international business by building a strong academic foundation through a focused use of business technologies and enriched curriculum that provides opportunities and guidance needed for students to reach their full potential in college or in the world of finance.

Overview

Business leaders and educators believe that all students must learn to function in a new workplace where international endeavors will be commonplace. Educators believe that many, if not most, graduates will live and work in foreign countries, travel frequently back and forth between this country and others, or interact with foreign colleagues on American soil. As more and more Americans earn their living through small business ownership and entrepreneurial ventures, many of them will extend their services into the international arena. The expansion of U.S. firms that conduct business internationally, contributes significantly to the diverse, multicultural workforce, and continued future development of the global economy.

The possibilities are numerous, challenging, and exciting, and we must prepare our students to take advantage of these opportunities.

Vision of the International Business Academy is:

• A school in which learning goes beyond the traditional classroom, allowing for mentoring and partnership relationships.
• An environment that nurtures and challenges the unique talents and needs of the learner.
• An educational setting designed to meet the changing needs of the border community.
• A community of learners where all stakeholders are given the opportunity to work collaboratively in a dynamic, changing, and culturally diverse system.
• A setting that encourages communication in multiple languages and exploration of international cultures, issues and languages.
• A program that stresses the use of the technology and the variety of different learning tools.

Transportation

District-wide and County-wide transportation is provided by the EPISD. The busses will pick up at every major high school in the El Paso and other county districts. Activity busses for students in sports or other extra-curricular activities will also be provided.
