New York Times Bestseller and national radio & television personality Dave Ramsey's Foundations in Personal Finance will be incorporated into the school's Consumer Education course.
Dave Ramsey, a personal money-management expert, is a national radio personality, and author of the New York Times best-sellers The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace and More Than Enough.
Eighty-nine percent of teens want to learn how to make their money grow. Yet, for decades, very few schools provided any type of money-management instruction. That's why his company created Foundations in Personal Finance -a curriculum designed to provide students with sound financial principles that will guide them into adulthood.
"We are excited to implement this new program for our students. In this time of economic uncertainty, one of the best tools we can give our students is the discipline to manage their finances as they prepare for their future. Consistent with our mission to provide a Christ-centered, academically excellent education, Dave Ramsey provides a Biblical perspective on money management," states Principal John Christman.
Videos and projects are designed to educate students about avoiding debt and building wealth. This financial curriculum is being used in more than 10,000 schools and educational institutions to teach teenagers how to manage their finances before they face the credit card trap. Students are equipped to confidently discuss money issues and plan for their own financial future. This course meets benchmarks and standards in all 50 states, as well as the national standards suggested by the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy.
