Welcome to the Business/DECA Department!

The Business Department offers a curriculum that facilitates an academic and practical understanding of the scope, function, and nature of business in a free-market society. Course content is supplemented with the study of real-world business examples, using the case study method and in-class discussions on relevant business news articles. Our goal is to provide a well-rounded educational experience that will not only prepare our students for college level business courses, but also to prepare them to become productive citizens.

The DECA Business Club prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in the areas of marketing, finance, hospitality, and management in high schools and colleges around the globe. DECA’s competitive events directly contribute to every student being college and career ready when they graduate Westford Academy by focusing them on being academically prepared, community oriented, professionally responsible and experienced leaders.
