The International Marketplace™ helps students appreciate how they are connected, through trade, to people and cultures throughout the world. The activities reinforce economic concepts taught in world history and geography courses. The program begins with a focus on the resources of selected countries and how they impact cultures, governments, and economic systems. The focus then turns to the benefits of international trade and important international economic issues.

JA Economics™ helps students examine the structure and values of the U.S. economic system, explore business operations, study the emerging global economy, and acquire knowledge and skills necessary to function as competent citizens.

Junior Achievement is an international organization sponsored by corporate and individual contributors.  In KISD, Junior Achievement reached over 29,000 students during the 2001/2002 academic year.  Volunteers are critical to the success of Junior Achievement programs. Last year, Cinco Ranch was honored to have several senior students receive scholarships from the organization.  Without the support of volunteers, students from Cinco Ranch may not have received any.
