Classroom Apprentice: Engaging Students through a Creative Competition

The Classroom Apprentice program at Greenwich High School transforms the popular TV format into a dynamic classroom competition. Inspired by student ideas, this innovative course uses team-based activities to encourage participation and real-world business skills. Students work in teams, create project plans, and present their ideas while having fun. Weekly episodes are incorporated into assignments, where contestants are tracked, and evaluations ensure all students engage and learn essential business concepts. Prizes include pizzas, gift cards, and a chance to win a savings bond.
