Get all the financial literacy skills you need for your future in this personal finance class!

Every class is taught on Nearpod with a slide deck and interactive questions, videos, and activities. You don't need a Nearpod account (see details in the Parental Guidance). 

This class requires a lot of discussion, so be prepared to answer some compelling discussion questions about spending and saving money. 

We have different class topics every week, and the content doesn't build. You can join anytime.
