About Us
Metropolitan Business Academy integrates business concepts and skills into all areas of its college preparatory education.  Through an interdisciplinary approach, Metropolitan prepares students for further study in a wide range of business enterprises so students can compete in a 21st century global economy.
Students at Metropolitan Business Academy choose a course of study in one of four academic pathways.  Academy of Allied Health and Science, Academy of Digital Arts and Technology, Academy of Finance, or the Academy of Law and Political Science.

  • The Academy of Allied Health and Science prepares students to pursue further education toward a career in the medical sciences through rigorous specialized curriculum and community based partnerships.
  • The Academy of Digital Arts and Technology provides students with opportunities to explore science through technology with a focus on innovation using animation, web design, movie making, and ecommerce. 
  • The Academy of Finance connects students with the world of financial services, offering a curriculum that covers banking and credit, financial planning, international finance, securities, insurance, accounting, and economics.
  • The Academy of Law and Political Science prepares students to pursue further education toward a career in law, political activism, journalism, criminal justice, community action, and public service.
