  Today's Teenager is Preparing to
Become tomorrow's Business Leader

The building of a usable skill in typewriting and shorthand is the primary aim of these courses. Skill is not merely the ability to type or write so many words a minute, but the ability to type or write material at an appropriate rate and with acceptable accuracy. The student is thus challenged to learn as a whole being and not as a one-sided specialist.
