The Finance Academy from East High School’s C4 program is
bringing educational activities to the Yes Cinema!
Students taking business classes will be showing up for
class from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm daily at the Commons Mall.
Starting with a charge from the Downtown Vision 20/20
Committee, C4 Columbus Area Career Connection with
assistance and encouragement from the Education
Sub-Committee, the Finance Academy has a new location.
We hope this pilot program has benefits for both downtown
Columbus and to those students participating in this
innovative idea. This program will foster an environment
where students experience individualized learning
integrated with opportunities to explore personal business
career interests. Strategies for learning will include
group projects, field trips, guest speakers and job
shadowing opportunities. While students benefit from
“hand-on” instruction, our hope is that this partnership
between downtown Columbus and C4 will act as a catalyst
for further private sector investment in downtown.
Courses being taught this semester will be Securities &
Insurance and Banking & Credit. If your business could
provide a guest lecturer, job shadowing opportunities,
tours for this pilot program or has a small project that
students could complete, please contact Diane Smith -
