Why Financial Literacy is Important for Kids


Financial Literacy is one of the most important life skills, yet it is often a neglected topic for kids of all ages. It is never too early to start teaching your kids about money management. Learning basic money concepts and how financial systems work from a young age will better prepare children to become financially confident adults. Understanding money can be complicated without the proper education, but when learned it can be a lot of fun and open up a world of opportunities.
As with most investments in life, children have the benefit of time on their sides. By investing in your children’s financial literacy today, you will help them learn how to start building a financially secure future.

As a parent of three teenaged children, I found the modules for parents both engaging and informative. My only regret is that I would have liked my kids to see this five years ago!

Parenting a Financially Responsible Child

I found this course to be great and highly entertaining. I came in it with minimal knowledge of the stock market, and I learned a lot in just one session. I found the instructors Seth and Jen to be very friendly and informative, as they took the time to really engage with us.

Introduction to the Stock Market 101

The Greater Toronto Financial Academy has put together an incredible program that is accessible and a safe place to learn. As a university student who has never been taught this in the school system, I was given this incredible opportunity to learn something that I now see as essential for every student. Thanks to this program I now understand the concept of investing and the stock market more thoroughly. Thank you!

Introduction to the Stock Market For Young Adults

Our 14-year old daughter really enjoyed participating in her first session with The Greater Toronto Financial Academy.  I found it to be extremely enlightening and educational.  She hadn’t been exposed to most of these concepts before and I found it to be a most worthwhile and valuable experience.  I can’t wait for her to do additional courses and expand her knowledge and understanding of these important life skills.

The Intro to the Stock Market course explained how to evaluate the complex data and graphs associated with stocks and helped to simplify the criteria to consider when selecting investments. Thank you for demystifying the stock market!
