The San Leandro High School Academy for Business and Finance is a partnership between public education and the business community. The Academy is a three-year program that provides academic and technical training that prepares students for higher education and the workforce.

The Academy teachers meet daily to plan and to discuss the progress of students in order to provide maximum assistance and personal attention. The program’s partnership with local businesses, Eden Area ROP and Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) enriches the business curriculum by providing insight into the training necessary for success in business. The business classes are held in the Academy’s computer lab, where students are trained in the use of standard business applications as well as all areas of Finance and Economics. Guest speakers, field trips, mentors and employment opportunities help to make this a unique program. Students in their three years will also be able to fundraise, and gain retail experience working in our newly opened student-run enterprise/ student store, "Pier 15 @ Pirate's Cove"
