Prepare Your Student for a Lifetime of Smart Financial Decisions!
This course provides students with the financial knowledge they need to succeed in adulthood. From managing a budget to making informed investment choices, this curriculum ensures they are prepared for real-life financial responsibilities.
I’m so glad this was an option for the curriculum. My daughter is learning so much.
Printing struggles- A paper/text book option would be nice.
So far I really like this as the teacher, my student needed a little extra to get to practice some of the concepts so I created mini projects that she would do that would give practical life applications to the lessons. We are only through unit 1. I can’t wait to see how the rest goes.
Also love this curriculum. Very thorough.
