Financial literacy is incredibly important, yet it's a subject often overlooked in schools. At Wild and Unstructured Learning, we believe it's our mission to prepare your child for the future and equip them for the real world. Learning about money early on can make all the difference! In this class, learners will dive into a new topic each week, all focused on money and the responsibilities that come with it. Our lessons are designed to be fun, engaging, and hands-on. With energetic teachers who love to make learning enjoyable, students will have plenty of opportunities to interact with both the teacher and their peers. At our student-centered company, we value collaboration and social interaction, making every class a lively and supportive experience.
