Commerce Department

Subjects offered through the Commerce Department are Accounting, Economics, and Business Studies.

Our philosophy is that general knowledge of Commerce/Business/Enterprise is an important life skill. We want to impart not only knowledge and skills to the students but also a ‘we can do it’ attitude. The students we teach are not only going to be employees but also the employers who create jobs for others and wealth for the nation. We are enthusiastic about our subject area and wish to pass that enthusiasm onto our students.
