Anglophone North School District continues to expand learning opportunities that help prepare students for life beyond the classroom. Beginning in semester 2, students in Personal Wellness 9 and Career Pathway Design will take part in new financial literacy learning focused on practical, real-world skills.
“In 2026, financial literacy is no longer optional—it’s essential. Our students face a world of digital banking, credit decisions, and rapid economic changes. Understanding budgeting, saving, and borrowing empowers them to make informed choices and build a secure future. Enriched Academy gives our students this skillset through engaging, practical exercises.”
— Dean Mutch, ASD-N District Superintendent
The learning supports students in building an understanding of budgeting, saving, borrowing, and making informed financial decisions. Through interactive lessons, videos, and classroom activities aligned with curriculum outcomes, students explore financial concepts in ways that are meaningful and applicable to everyday life.
To support this learning, ASD-N is using classroom-ready financial literacy resources developed by Enriched Academy, a Canadian non-profit organization. These resources are designed for classroom use and aligned with curriculum outcomes.
“Students told us they want more opportunities to learn real-world financial skills, and this initiative is a direct response to that feedback. These resources equip teachers to deliver engaging, relevant learning that prepares students for life beyond high school.”
— Krista Cabel, ASD-N Director of Curriculum & Instruction
Teachers are supported with ready-to-use lessons, pacing guides, and tools that allow them to monitor progress and adapt instruction to meet student needs. Students engage in hands-on activities, real-world scenarios, and webinars that connect learning to future goals and decision-making.
The learning opportunity also extends beyond the classroom, connecting students to enrichment experiences such as webinars, scholarships, and contests that recognize student achievement and encourage continued growth in financial literacy.
By strengthening financial literacy education, ASD-N is helping ensure students are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate future pathways with confidence.
