Eighth Grade Financial Literacy Curriculum
The earlier a student starts planning for college, the more doors stay open.
Eighth graders can now hold long time horizons and weigh real trade-offs, so they close the middle-school arc by looking ahead. Our eighth grade financial literacy curriculum introduces the idea that big goals like college and a career carry real costs you can plan and save for — the soft on-ramp to our high-school College & Career Readiness track, where the time value of money becomes a plan students build with their own hands.
The Wyzmons™ — a learner for every stage
Eighth Grade sits in the Money Systems band — one step in a single K–12 arc, from a first coin to a first paycheck.
Students map a big future goal — like college — and learn that the things that matter most can be planned and paid for. The soft on-ramp to our high-school College & Career Readiness track.
What a Eighth Grade student learns.
Eighth Grade sits inside the Money Systems program — 6 units and 60 lessons of story-, play-, and decision-based learning, taught the way great classrooms actually teach.
Every decision a eighth grade student makes feeds the FLIQ Score™ — a behavioral measure of how a child actually decides about money, so growth is provable, not guessed.
The Eighth Grade curriculum is Jump$tart National Standards aligned, follows the HQIM structure districts use to evaluate curriculum, and is FERPA & COPPA compliant. Districts license per school and can pay by purchase order — Title IV-A eligible.
Grade-level design reflects established stages of cognitive development (Piaget) and research on early money-habit formation.
