High School — Finance

Develop practical financial literacy and the mathematical habits used in everyday financial decisions. Students compare choices, evaluate tradeoffs, and connect personal goals with responsible planning.

Learning focus

• Create and evaluate budgets and savings plans
• Explore interest, credit, borrowing, and the cost of financial choices
• Compare income, taxes, risk, and long-term planning concepts

This course is available individually or as one of four courses in the applicable full core program. Families selecting the full program should register for that program rather than purchasing the same included course separately; Wild Wonder Collective will coordinate classroom placement.
