If you still need a 4^th year of Math, and Pre-Cal, isn’t your thing, then Financial Math may be the place for you. Students learn about topics that relate to them after high school, such as how to handle credit cards, taxes, loans (home, car, and student), savings, retirement, etc.

The primary focal point of Financial Math is preparation for the real world and financial complication you might face and how to better prepare for them.

In Financial Math, students learn to budget for their life after high school, how to positively impact their credit score, and how to set themselves up for future financial success.

Course content consists primarily of applications of real world financial concepts to prepare students to become well-educated and highly informed 21st century citizens.

“I loved Financial Math. I liked learning about things I’m going to need after I graduate.”

This class is project based. Students will make a budget based off their current expenses to help prepare them for life on their own. They will learn about different types of home loans, the requirements of each, and how to apply for them. They will learn about credit cards and credit scores, and what impacts your score, both positively and negatively, and what they can do if they have no credit or how to repair their credit. Students will also model a personal business that they created with initial investment, potential employee wages, and expected annual income. These are just some examples of the types of projects students will be required to complete in Financial Math.
