Although students may be told information to the contrary, EFP offers courses that meet graduation requirements in English, math, social studies, applied arts (all E-ship and marketing), economics (Econ and App Econ), technology (multimedia), and human behavior (Psych). We encourage students and parents to be strong advocates for themselves and do what they perceive is in the best interests of the student! Since we are accepting sophomores, juniors and seniors to be, we understand the importance of making certain that students can meet all of their high school graduation requirements and also be prepared to move on to college. Therefore, we are offering a variety of sophomore, junior and senior level courses at EFP. However, since not all schools offer all business courses, EFP will also be offering a few 'typical' high school business courses. So please be aware that the registration examples and course descriptions below simply provide a functional look at the EFP experience.
