MoneySKILL is a free online reality based personal finance course for young adults developed by the AFSA Education Foundation. This interactive curriculum is aimed at the millions of high school and college students who graduate each year without a basic understanding of money management fundamentals. The course is designed to be used as all or part of a grade for courses in economics, math, social studies or where personal finance are taught. Students experience the interactive curriculum as both written text and audio narration. In addition, frequent quizzes test their grasp of each and every concept. The 34-module curriculum, with pre- and post -tests, covers the content areas of income, expenses, assets, liabilities and risk management. A life simulation module asks students to project their own financial life expectancies in areas such as employment, housing, transportation, education, marriage, family and retirement. The life simulation allows students to incorporate the MoneySKILL personal finance concepts into their everyday lives, thus providing them with knowledge and skills that will last a lifetime.

"I really do love this curriculum! It's so practical and yet in-depth with the materials it covers. I love the changes you made to it this year, as I am allowing the students to go back in and re-work their 5 lowest modules. This is helpful in terms of incentive for them, but also in terms of learning the material. This is "real life" stuff and I see some of our brightest students struggling with some of the most basic concepts of personal finance. Your curriculum has been very helpful in this regards." (April 2009) Joel Mishler, NorthWood High School, Elkhart, IN "I just wanted to say that this is such a great site! It's hard for teachers to find applicable and organized information that we can present to the kids in a way that they can relate to -- MoneySKILL does this -- plus it's a free site for educators and that is so appreciated, especially today with money being so tight and the schools cutting back so much! Thank you for all that you have done, MoneySKILL is a great site and I will continue to use it for as long as I teach personal finance." (April 2009) Tiffany York, Phoenix High School, Phoenix, OR "I want to thank the MoneySKILL creators for making it available for schools to use. I have incorporated these modules into my financial literacy class and they are great to use when students have finished their assignments and have time to work on a module. Working on a 13-week trimester, students are required to complete 17 modules the first 6 weeks and 17 the second 6 weeks. Also, when working on the modules at home, their parents are interested in what they are doing and this sparks dialogue with them about financial matters." (March 2009) Ken Krause, Business/Marketing NHS Advisor, Fitzgerald High School, Warren, MI "Thank you for the updates, great resource for our students." (March 2009) Chad Bruechert, Business & Marketing Teacher, Menasha High School, WI
"Wonderful, wonderful improvements. Always getting better. Thanks, and kudos to those who come up with all this." (March 2009) Kenneth McKinnon, Sacred Heart Academy, Buffalo, NY
"Thank you so much for the update! I truly appreciate it. I will not be able to continue the use of the program, because I have retired as of January 2009. It was pleasure to work with you and all of the creative minds that went into the creation of the modules. As an Economics teacher I found them to be intricate in the development of an educated savvy teenager, especially one going off to college in 5 to 6 months." (March 2009) Lidia Viehman (Retired teacher), Freedom High School, Bethlehem, PA
"I've used MoneySKILL at two schools, and I've not found anything better to augment teaching economics and personal finance. MoneySKILL allows the teacher to fit another 8 to 10 weeks of critically important material into a standards school year. I like MoneySKILL so much; I've offered to set up accounts for friends of mine who seem to be less than wonderful at managing their own finances." (2008) Kenneth McKinnon, Sacred Heart Academy, Buffalo, NY
"Thanks for the wonderful online modules for high school students. MoneySKILL is one of the more valuable tools I use.” (2008) Jolene Staska, Mishicot High School, Mishicot, WI
"I want to say how much I appreciate MoneySKILL. I was given a finance course to teach out of the blue, and with the help of MoneySKILL I feel that I have given the students a good, solid learning experience." (2008) Susan Barocas, Northampton High School, Northampton, MA
