Junior Achievement

We are pleased to have Junior Achievement as part of each child’s education at St. Lawrence School. It is presented in grades K through 6 in either the fall or spring by consultants trained by Junior Achievement. Students learn the relevance of education to the work place through sequential business and economic themes. It is a systems approach to successful intervention at each grade level that will help our children enter the world of work, prepared for life long learning and achievement.

The consultants do an excellent job of working with our students. There is an atmosphere of shared respect and attention, listening and interaction. Through lively discussions and class activities, students explore economics and business related concepts while practicing skills that are traditional elements of our curriculum. The themes for each year tie in closely with topics in social studies and religion.
