Cleveland Academy


We build young savers who will impact the next generation.

Why is it that so many schools don't value the importance of financial education? Cleveland Academy is changing the status quo by partnering with Carolina Foothills FCU so that the next generation is prepared to make wise decisions regarding their money.

Early Saving

We believe that starting your adult life with savings helps put you ahead of your peers and better prepares you for adulthood.

Financial Education

In addition to Carolina Foothill's in-school branch, we are working to educate students through our My First Budget program. A finance simulation that puts students through a day in the life of an adult with bills. Students learn the real cost of life and the value of a budget.

Teamwork

When a student is a member of Carolina Foothills, they are part of a team of over 15,000 members who are working towards financial success. Not only that, but many of their fellow classmates are also members.

Our team is fueled by making a difference in the lives of every member, even the littlest ones...

We have a desire to lay a financial foundation for young savers in the community so that when the time comes, they can buy that car, or go to that college, or merely sleep easier each night.

What does your student need to open an account?

Pick up a membership packet form from the front desk. Please be sure to fill in their birthday and social security number. Once you are finished, turn both into the school. That's it.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURE[S] FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT: To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask you for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We will also ask to see identifying documents.
