For Schools

World class education professionals, school boards and teachers recognize that there is an enormous gap in the resources available to truly inspire and prepare students for life outside of school, and the realities that happen when they leave.

When you consider recent reports on over half a billion dollars in Student loans written off in Canada, and 16 billion dollars in current student debt, right alongside a culture where students are continually blasted with credit card offers, Don’t Pay a Cent Events or Play Now and Pay Later type promotions. The reality is that something important is being missed to help give students a fighting chance.

Students leaving high school are lacking fundamental money management skills that not only allow them to afford higher education if interested but will provide them with a framework to live a debt free life and help break a cycle that has led to record high personal debt in households right across Canada.

So, who’s responsibility is it to teach these skills? How do you inspire this awareness in students?

There is a tremendous opportunity here for education professionals to take a leadership role in an area that completely impacts the well being of students once they graduate. Please contact us today to see how we can help.

True or False.
Students do not make enough money to start saving?

False. Student Loans, allowance and part time jobs are all sources of income. Students are also surrounded by the freedom and the temptations to spend. Helping students develop effective saving & spending decisions equally important to the education they receive in school.

What You’ll Learn

When it comes to financial awareness & building wealth, a proper mindset is critical. Enriched Academy breaks down all the major misconceptions students have towards money to allow us to build a solid foundation that will have them understanding that they CAN take control of their financial health and they are at the perfect time of their life to do it.
Imagine an 18 year old is able to get their drivers license without taking a test… crazy right? That same group of students are not required to take any type of test when getting their first credit card or even applying for a loan. Unfortunately, most students have no understanding of the basics of how credit or credit cards really work. This section educates students on the key components of credit, credit cards and loans so they can make informed decisions and avoid the pitfalls of debt.
There are two fundamental skills that are absolutely critical for students to master at an early age in order to set themselves up for financial success: Controlling Debt & Setting a Budget. Enriched Academy has created proprietary tools, designed to show students that these are simple steps, requiring just a few minutes of effort. These form the back bone of their ability to create a plan to avoid debt while controlling their money.
Students often think building wealth starts later in life after graduation when they start earning more money. Nothing could be further from the truth. In this section, students learn how their spending decisions today impact their ability to save and invest their money. But they also learn the basics of how to start thinking and what steps they need to take to build a sounder financial future.
At some point in all our lives, real estate is something we explore. Some people rent, some buy, and others invest in real estate. This is one of the biggest decisions people make in their lives. Enriched Academy helps students understand the fundamentals around real estate while helping create awareness around how others perceive real estate and how they can start to think about real estate as an opportunity in their future.
Many students have already spent years mastering the art of setting goals and recognizing the importance they play in their day to day success. This section will help students improve their understanding of how to set effective goals along with the impact they have on both their career and their financial success.
