Teachers’ behavior, level of qualification, and years of experience play an important role in achieving students’ academic success. The present study explored the effects of Business Teachers’ Physiognomies (teachers’ personality, qualification, and working experience) on Senior High School Business students’ academic performance in the Kumasi Metropolis. The descriptive research design was employed in the study. Seven hundred and fifty (750) cost accounting, business management, and financial accounting high school students in the ten selected senior high schools in Kumasi Metropolis were involved in the study through a random sample technique. A standardized questionnaire was used in collecting data for the research. Moreover, three successive terms of the academic results of students were gathered to use for the study. The scores of students were analyzed using cross-tabulation for all three courses. Multiple linear regression was adopted to regress teachers’ personality, qualifications, and working experience on students’ academic performance. The study found that cost accounting, business management, and financial accounting teachers’ personality, working experience, and qualification level have a significant positive effect on students’ performance. It was recommended that schools’ leaders ensure teachers are inspired to maintain their good work in enhancing business students’ academic performance.
