Matador Business Academy
Learning in the Matador Business Academy goes beyond the classroom. Whether students are collaborating on projects, connecting with professionals through job shadows, or presenting their own products as shown in the photos above, they are developing the skills and confidence needed for life after high school. These photos highlight growth, creativity, and real-world readiness in action.

About the MBA
The Matador Business Academy's mission is to develop compassionate, collaborative, college and career ready students. We are a special state funded, linked learning academy where students form an exclusive cohort in most of their classes. This encourages a friendly, supportive environment which leads to greater academic success. This extra funding allows us to participate in business conferences, mentoring programs, and national level business competitions.
The MBA students acquire the knowledge and skills for a successful career in business through a project-based curriculum. Not all MBA students will go into business, but they are all prepared to become professional leaders, in whatever industry they join.
