Christian Life Academy has joined with four other area schools (Dee-Mack, Delavan, Midwest Central, and Tremont) and a variety of area businesses to establish a new entrepreneurship opportunity for students. CEO is a year-long course where students visit area businesses, learn from guest speakers, participate in a class business, write business plans, and start and operate their own businesses. Students earn high school credit with successful completion of the course.
CEO is funded primarily by investment from local businesses. The goal is to have the program available for the 2027-28 school year. We are currently working to establish the base of investors to ensure the program's stability for multiple years.
If you are interested in learning more about the CEO program or becoming an investor to support the program, we invite you to join us next Thursday, September 3rd at 2:45 pm in the CLA gym for a presentation from Chris Egleston, a representative from Midland Institute for Entrepreneurship. Join us to unlock some entrepreneurial magic!
**Please note that this is a separate giving opportunity from CLA's operations donations.**
