What: Junior Achievement and Deloitte & Touche will pilot a
first-of-its-kind business ethics curriculum, entitled
"Excellence through Ethics," which will provide Chicago
students in grades 4-12 with lessons on ethical
decision-making, business ethics vs. personal ethics, and
how to face difficult decisions with honor. Through
participation in the pilot, students and business
volunteers will have the unique opportunity to influence
the content of the curriculum by testing it and providing
feedback. This information will be incorporated into the
final product, which is scheduled for rollout in Fall
2003. The final curriculum will be taught by volunteers
from both Deloitte & Touche and Junior Achievement and is
expected to reach over 100,000 local students and more
than three million students nationally.
Media are invited to visit the Walt Disney Magnet School
to witness the implementation of this curriculum in a

Why: Looking back at 2002 and the business ethics failures that

need to become ethical business leaders of tomorrow.
