In the beginning we only had Kindergarten through 3rd grade, and students had to be Catholic to attend. St. Isidore Catholic School made a commitment to develop a curriculum that would introduce students on the elementary school level to practical hands-on training in business and financial literacy. We formed a partnership with Federal Credit Union to open an in-school branch at our school. The curriculum for the in-school branch was designed to meet several objectives. Students participating in this project will have hands-on experience in a financial setting, acquire knowledge regarding financial products and services, learn to save by setting realistic savings goals, develop current math, computer and social skills through experiences learned while working as a volunteer in the school credit union branch, gain life-long employment skills, and recognize key economic terms including: consumers, income, goods, services, producers, employment, and marketing. The mission of St. Isidore Catholic School is to promote an environment of Christian growth and learning which enable students, their families, and the faculty and staff to experience the lifelong benefits of Catholic education. ...
