Aspire

Aspire develops the essential knowledge we all need to make smart decisions about how we earn, save and invest money.

Through a series of engaging characters and scenarios, students learn about the economy and how it will affect their lives as a consumer, an employee and, perhaps, as a business owner.

Developed in partnership with teachers and subject matter experts, five online learning modules can stand alone or be incorporated into three lessons, with offline classroom activities to introduce and extend the online learning.
