You can enroll for the Financial Literacy for High School students program. The program will cover the following topics:
- Basics of money and finance
- Inflation and purchasing power
- Loan calculations (using college loans as an example)
- Budgeting, savings and investing
- Corporate structure and stocks and bonds
- Insurance
- Diversification and risk-return
- Mutual funds/ETFs, etc.
The program will use Google Sheets to illustrate the calculations, so everyone should have a gmail account (Google Sheets is free with a gmail account, but you can also use MS Excel if you already have paid for it). These skills will be useful throughout your life!
There are two options for registering for the class (click on the Pay Now button).
Option 1: Virtual, asynchronous class, with several hours of pre-recorded lecture videos that contain in-depth explanations of all the concepts, several solved examples, and homework problems with the solutions provided later on.
Option 2: Everything in option 1
PLUS
One hour class once a week for the duration of the course, via Google Meet, where the students can get all their questions answered! Class size under option 2 will be restricted to around 20 students, to ensure that all the students get personalized attention.
