Financial Literacy

In the US, 75% of teens lack confidence in their personal finance knowledge and only 22.7% have guaranteed access to personal finance courses in school. Financial literacy is essential because it gives students the knowledge and skills for the best financial future and success. Teaching from a young age, we work to build responsible habits that continue into adulthood and show students the importance of long-term planning to build wealth for life.
