Overview

Money skills aren't taught in school. So we're teaching them here.

The Financial Literacy Summer Program is a four-week experience built for high schoolers and delivered fully online — interactive virtual workshops, real-world scenarios, group projects, and a financial simulation. Offered in collaboration with Atlas. By the end, you'll know how to budget, bank, earn, invest, and avoid getting scammed.
