Confidence, built one decision at a time.

Finance is a skill
you take everywhere.

Meet after school for sessions taught by working finance and business professionals. Start with the essentials, then put your understanding into practice.

01 / Understand

Build your foundation.

Explore personal finance, wealth building, markets, investing, and corporate finance. Learn the questions to ask before making a decision.

02 / Share

Teach what you know.

In the fall, create hands-on lessons for younger Catholic school students. Financial Literacy Day turns your learning into service.

03 / Put it to work

Make your case.

In the spring, research a public company, develop an investment thesis, and defend your recommendation to financial professionals.

Knowledge that serves others

Learn it well.
Pass it on.

Finance becomes more meaningful when it helps someone else. Our students design activities that make saving, spending, and financial decision-making accessible to younger learners.

This is a dedicated finance program. It has its own projects and presentations, separate from the Flagship Case Competition and entrepreneurship term.
