PROGRAM FUNDING
Our Connections Programs prepare students for the educational and career challenges of the 21st Century.
All lessons address real-world challenges: from personal finance to creating a product to sell and calculating return on investment. Activities can be incorporated into the school day or will fit seamlessly into any extended learning time models (such as afterschool, before school or lunchtime).
