EMS is taught in Grades 7 through 9. The curriculum draws on content from Accounting, Business Studies, Consumer Studies, and Economics, as well as Travel & Tourism. Students gain a general understanding of each of the subject areas covered. We aim to encourage students to select a combination of Accounting, Business Studies and/or Economics in the FET phase.
 
Students are constantly exposed to current affairs and are taken on many business-type excursions, which are aimed at equipping them to apply their theoretical knowledge to real life situations. We have re-structured the Grade 7 to 9 EMS syllabus to suit our unique needs, so during Grade 7 we cover not  only the necessary content, but also the current affairs-type extension work  that is required in the Academy community. Grade 8 students actively  participate in running a market day, and are assisted in opening a savings account with Nedbank. As much of the focus in Grade 9 is on Accounting, students are required to participate in a simulation game hosted by Banango Traders. This activity prepares students for the ‘take-over’ of the Dikgwebas businesses by  those students planning to study Business Studies in Grade 10.
