Wealth (10^th - 12^th grade) – SPRING SEMESTER

Prepare your students to flourish in society as they learn concepts of finance and go beyond the numbers to analyze how different economic systems and choices line up with Christian principles.

Each student will leave this class prepared to better steward their resources and use them wisely, responsibly, and charitably.
