Independent self directed learning

MoneyTime is built to be self-taught so teachers and parents don't need to be confident teaching personal finance. The comprehensive curriculum takes care of the "what" and "how" of teaching kids about money using interactive lessons that ensure kids stay engaged and have fun.

Easy to use and implement

MoneyTime can be used anywhere on any computer or tablet connected to the internet, making it perfect for school use, home use, distance learning or learning on the go.

For schools, no teacher development training is required. The lessons are self-directed, quizzes are automatically marked and the system provides comprehensive reporting on student progress.

Includes experiential learning

A key feature of MoneyTime is it combines lessons with a fun money management game. Children earn virtual money by answering quiz questions correctly, which they can chose to spend on their avatar, savings, donations or investments - just like they will have to do in real life.

Curriculum designed for children ages 10 to 14

MoneyTime has been specifically designed for children ages 10 to 14 (grades 5-8). The program covers everything from earning through to investing including wider topics such as career choice, peer pressure and staying safe when shopping online.

I can honestly say I’ve found the program to be a game changer! My students absolutely love it and have gained so much confidence from using it. Their parents are equally excited. I’ve had lots of feedback about how they have enjoyed talking with their children about tough but important financial concepts.

My ten-year old daughter has been really enjoying MoneyTime and is learning a great deal. The modular structure is well-designed and engaging - she continually asks to go back to the program. Congrats to MoneyTime for making learning enticing as well as comprehensive.

So happy to have this amazing program for my boys! I can't believe how much they're learning about finances. And they're learning so much more - like real-life lessons on how to figure out want vs. need, saving, & even giving to charity. We're using it as a homeschool elective but it's turned into so much more than that.

I now have large conversations with my family about things that I have picked up from modules. MoneyTime … teaches you life skills, and still allows you to be a kid. I feel like it is really improving my math, and I really hope I can do it again.

— Isabella

I think money time is a lot of fun because it gets you ready for when you leavethe house to make your own decisions.

— Antony

I really enjoyed the MoneyTime program. It’s made me money smart. It’s taught me about saving and investment. Not just to spend it on toys and things that are not things that I want.

- Emily
