Whether you teach littles in elementary school or teens on the cusp of adulthood in high school, preparing students for their financial future is for all ages. The good news: there is still time left in April to honor Financial Literacy Month in your classroom with EVERFI’s no-cost resources!

“There is still time left in April to honor Financial Literacy Month in your classroom.”

If you have time for one or two financial-focused lessons, have students start one of the courses below and choose the lesson they complete:

Elementary School

o   Vault: Understanding Money—Introduce the concept of financial decision making

Middle School

o   FutureSmart: Financial Literacy*—Students become “mayor” of the town and learn how to manage their finances and make sound decisions

o   SmartEconomics*—Get your students thinking about factors that impact the price of the things they buy

High School

o   EVERFI: Financial Literacy*—Encourage students to explore one of the seven lessons—covering everything from banking, employment, budgeting, consumer skills, financing higher education, and more—in our financial education 101-course
