Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is rooted in the beliefs that
-
Healthy financial habits must be developed early in life and nurtured to pursue an active interest in your financial well-being.
-
Active Learning (as opposed to passive-listening) utilizing interactive tools, work-shops etc engages students in ways that build financial curiosity, discipline & fiscal responsibility.
We apply this through 3 tiers of financial development:
Financial Literacy
Curiosity development through collective learning of foundational concepts and terminologies around the 5 pillars of financial literacy
Financial Proficiency
Application oriented through gamification & interactive tools to understand financial management vehicles:
-
Stocks/Equity, ETF, Bonds etc)
-
Capital & successful entrepreneurship
-
Stock market clubs, simulated trading platforms
Financial Supremacy
Focus on discipline & habit-forming through ongoing interest in current events, economic analyses (macro, global, local). Understanding risk tolerance, trade-offs and application to personal financial life events like:
-
College & tuition (applying a financial lens towards your choices for college education),
-
First job (trade-offs, saving - spending - investing)
-
First 'big' purchase
