Elementary School Students

Feed the Pig for Tweens
AICPA created a curriculum for students in grades 4-6. Using piglet characters to engage the students, it covers basic financial concepts such as need vs. wants, goal setting and budgeting. The website has an online game and the option to download the lessons. 

Junior Achievement
The WSCPA partners with Junior Achievement to help students connect the dots between what they learn in school and the business of life. JA provides classroom materials for volunteers to teach lessons on financial literacy, business, work readiness and entrepreneurial education.

High School Students

The Vault

The lessons cover managing your income, credit cards, banking, saving, comparison shopping and the value of continuing your education after high school.
