Life 101: 삶과 일을 위한 필수적인 돈 기술! Crash Course

Note: the kids who get the most out of this class actively engage in some fashion (via chat, camera, or audio). The subject matter requires “doing” as a key theme, so this class emphasizes this throughout the week.

ESA note: This class is structured to accept ESA funds for participating states and families.

Students deserve to learn about money! 🎓💰 

This course is like the ultimate treasure map guiding them towards financial independence and wealth creation. In each hour-long session of our camp, we'll unlock a series of key topics that, when pieced together, will set students on the path to financial freedom! 🚀

We'll cover the five key ideas of financial literacy: earning, budgeting, saving, protection, and investing.

Within those ideas we cover key topics like the importance of getting a job, how to open a savings account, credit scores, positive spending decisions, insurance (home, car, health), an overview of taxes, as well as an introduction to financial investing. 💵

👩‍🏫 How will class be taught?

Class will be taught through lecture, discussion, question and answer, as well as practice and demonstration exercises. Students have indicated Mr. Scott's teaching style is "intense and engaging". 

I'm all about putting learners at the heart of the experience, empowering them with actionable takeaways and inspiration.

Class will include viewing of a few very short YouTube clips for context and to reach different learning styles. 

Also, class is taught to push student understanding. We build and unpack complex ideas from start to finish every session. 


🎓 Student Expectations:

We expect our students to embody our core values of teamwork, integrity, accountability, and problem-solving skills. Active participation and positivity are key!

🔍 Required Skills:

Students should be comfortable with decimals, percentages, and basic math operations. If they've got that covered, they're good to go! 

Note on content 📝

This class teaches financial skills that are broadly applicable in various regions of the globe, where individuals have access to retail and commercial banking services and market or mixed economies. While an attempt will be made to explain ideas so all students can understand, hyper local examples and command based systems fall outside these financial skills.

Specifically, this class recognizes the ability to lend money at interest as a core concept within the financial world. It represents the importance of individuals being able to accumulate private property to pursue financial independence. 

Late Arrivals: They will be admitted at the discretion of Mr. Scott.
