Extra Ed started out as an organization teaching financial literacy in fun – yes, fun! – and innovative ways. Our fresh approach earned us the respect of parents and educators, partnerships with school boards, and best of all, the engagement of the students themselves. Many years on, we have continued the tradition with expanded offerings that have kept up with the times, all the while maintaining the high standards that helped us make a name for ourselves as an organization.
Our programs run the gamut when it comes to financial literacy. From the most basic introduction to savings and debt, to play money and coins, and on through registered accounts, investments, cryptocurrencies, and more, students of all ages learn everything they need to manage their own finances and run a business in the 21st century.
More than anything, our programs aim to empower young people to take charge of their financial lives and to know that they are in the driver’s seat. And we accomplish this through engaging and easy-to-understand lessons, fun and exciting tournaments, and team-based activities that leave lasting and practical impressions.
As always, all of our materials are vetted regularly by industry professionals to make sure that we are keeping up with the times. Extra Ed’s full suite of financial literacy programs are an excellent complement to the existing school curriculum, and a fun and engaging way for students of all ages to learn about money.
