Welcome to the Rhode Island High School
Personal Finance Course Center

a.k.a the "I Wish I Took THAT Course in High School" page

THIS PAGE IS CURRENTLY BEING DEVELOPED  

This site provides information about personal finance (financial literacy) courses being taught in schools throughout the Ocean State.

At right, you will find links to high schools.  Upon clicking on a school, you will find:

  • Personal Finance Graduation Requirement Information (if exists)
  • Descriptions of Personal Finance Courses Offered
  • Other Relevant Information as We Build the Site

 

While many courses contribute to and are essential to the overall personal financial capability of students, this resource provides information about courses specifically dedicated to personal finance in a comprehensive manner.  Therefore, courses such as Accounting, Economics, and Mathematics will not appear in this database of courses. 

Research for this project is being conducted by students in the Bryant University Management Department as a volunteer service learning project.  We are grateful to students, Ryan Hansen (team leader), Katelyn Callahan, Joseph Richman, Shawn Sousa, Liz Stapleton, Brad Theroux, and Tyler Whitney.
