The Farrington Academy of Business (FAB) provides students with a comprehensive look at the various facets of business and industry through integrated courses and hands-on experiences through school, community and industry partnerships. FAB students will develop their communication skills, including interpersonal, written, verbal and job interviewing skills. Students will understand and practice business etiquette, including communication styles, work ethics and attire. Students will also become effective and ethical users of technology.
While in the FAB program, students will be introduced to basic business concepts like the business cycle, laws, accounting equations, customer service and teamwork. They will also understand occupational safety and health practices, participate in community service and take part in job training, internships through community contacts. All students will complete a senior project on a topic of interest to them.
The students will learn valuable business skills for future careers and everyday lives and participate in on and off campus opportunities provided by the FAB industry partners, Sheraton Waikiki Resort and Hawaii USA Federal Credit Union.
The Farrington Academy of Business aims to equip its graduating students with skills for a smooth transition to post-secondary opportunities – higher education, job training, the workforce or the military.
