High schools begin teaching business as a liberal art

Original: Business as a liberal art? Some high schools say yes

A growing number of high schools are framing business education as a liberal art, blending entrepreneurship, finance and ethics into a broad liberal-arts curriculum rather than narrow vocational training. Educators argue the approach teaches students judgment, communication and problem-solving through real-world business problems. Supporters see it as practical preparation for modern careers, while others question whether business belongs alongside traditional liberal-arts subjects.

Why now: Educators and parents are debating how schools should prepare students for work and whether practical business study fits a liberal-arts education.
