NHS 3DE FAQs
Who are 3DE students?
The 3DE student is any student who enjoys gaining real-world experience through visits to community businesses, mentor-coaching opportunities, networking with community leaders and tackling real-world situations through case challenges. A 3DE student does NOT have to be interested in business as a future career. 3DE is a benefit for any student – business interest or no business interest – as it provides students with competencies and transferable skills that will help them in any future career and in every dimension of life.
Am I eligible for 3DE?
3DE does not currently have attendance or academic requirements. Students may attend 3DE at Northview if they live with a parent or guardian within the Northview attendance zone or are accepted via our district COSA process. Check the Fulton County website to check your attendance zone and for more information about COSA (school choice).
I'm not interested in business. Is 3DE still for me? YES! 3DE is a benefit for any student - business interest or not - as it provides students with competencies and transferable skills that will help in any future career and in every dimension of life. We like to say that 3DE is a complement to any school course and a complement to any college and career readiness.
How will 3DE help my student get into college?
The 3DE experience sets our students apart through their exposure and experiences with our business partners. They will have a unique story to tell about building core competencies while engaging in real-world problem solving. More importantly, their experience with collaborating in teams and learning through case methodology will set them up for success in higher learning opportunities and beyond school.
