Grade: 9 - 12 Min: 4 Max: 15 (2 seats remaining)
Min Assistants: 1 Max Assistants: 2 (Assistant Max Reached)
This course helps your high school student to graduate with the financial wisdom they will need to navigate today's world well. We will be using the Foundations in Personal Finance course by Dave Ramsey, a complete dynamic curriculum that will teach your students about saving, investing, budgeting and spending from a biblical perspective. Cash or check are acceptable payments, thank you!
There will be weekly assignments, including budgeting, comparing prices, participating in a stock market game and setting up an emergency fund.
Students will be encouraged to set up an emergency fund at the bank if possible. In addition, we will be talking through setting up real budgets for those who are working or possible budgets for those who are not and how to best utilize a budget. Also, as a class we will participate in a stock market game.
Material fees will cover all supplies.
45$ for 1st semester for books, prints and materials. 25$ for 2nd semester. We will be using The Foundations in Personal Finance by Dave Ramsey curriculum DVD's, which I purchased for the course. In addition we will be using The Foundations in Personal Finance workbook (published in 2014). I am hoping to provide these workbooks, as they are difficult to find, either by purchasing them or making copies. If you would like to purchase your own for your student, contact me after registering them and we can work that out! Any extra fees will be refunded at the end of the year.
Ability and willingness to discuss ideas and concepts, raise questions and engage with peers and adults.
