Extra Curriculum – Personal Finance

Personal Finance is an engaging 4-week course designed to equip students with essential life skills in managing money. Through interactive lessons, students will explore key concepts such as:

Financial responsibility, budgeting, online banking, and money management. These topics provide a foundation for understanding the value of money and making informed financial decisions.

Students will learn practical skills like planning and tracking expenses, using modern tools like digital banking, and creating strategies for saving, spending, and investing wisely. The course is designed to build confidence and independence in financial decision-making.

This course is part of our Extra Curriculum offerings and is recommended for students in grades 3rd to 12th. It’s an excellent way to prepare students for real-world financial situations and lifelong success.

Students can receive a Certification of Completion for this course through the Parent/Teacher Account. This certificate highlights their achievement and serves as a valuable addition to their educational portfolio.

Empower your students with the knowledge they need to build a secure financial future!

Update Your Student’s Grade Level for 2023-2024

As we prepare for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year, it’s time to update your student’s grade level. This simple process ensures their curriculum aligns with their learning needs for the new year. Follow the steps below to make the update:

1. Log in to your student’s account and navigate to the Help menu.
2. Inside the Help menu, you will find a link called “Change Grade Level”.
3. Click on the link and select their grade level for next year.

Choosing the right grade level can sometimes be a challenge, especially for families new to homeschooling. To help with this process, we recommend using the Assessment Tests available in the student account. These tests are specifically designed to assess your student’s current understanding of the curriculum and provide valuable insights to guide your decision.

If you have a Parent/Teacher Account, you can easily view your student’s test results, making it even simpler to determine the best grade level for their success.

Take this opportunity to set your student up for a productive and rewarding school year ahead!
