FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

Students pay their own rent and all other bills and develop very real credit reputations, so financial management skills are a high priority. Each student is assigned one teacher as a “Financial Advisor” and works with that teacher from the first week to begin to manage his/her own business affairs. Instruction is given in:

  • Self-advocacy skills
  • Paying bills
  • Keeping a check record
  • Budgeting
