The Ontario curriculum supports financial literacy across the grades. Financial literacy is more than just knowing about money and financial matters and having the skills to work with this knowledge. Students develop the confidence to successfully apply the necessary knowledge, concepts, and skills in a range of relevant real-life contexts and for a range of purposes.
Students also develop the ability to make informed decisions as consumers and citizens. The NNDSB Financial Literacy Guide outlines what students will learn about at school as they move through the grades and provides some ideas for at-home learning and building an understanding of Financial Literacy.
You can access the guide on our Math For Families webpage.

In addition to staying informed via the board’s website, families can find NNDSB on Facebook and Instagram.
Sincerely,
Near North District School Board
