Principles of Financial Literacy

Financial Literacy is a one-year course that enables students to get a head start on taking control of their financial lives. Students who take charge of their finances are better prepared to invest in themselves and cope with the financial ups and downs that life will bring. In this course, students will examine how to manage their money through well-planned budgets, build and sustain credit, set financial decisions, prepare for taxes, and save/invest in their future.
