CIA FIRST International School offers a wide-range of courses and curricula to suit the needs and aspirations of its students. CIA FIRST’s Financial Literacy course, MoneyTree, is a part of the school’s vision to develop students who will become financially savvy and well-rounded. 

The MoneyTree curriculum is excellently aligned with CIA FIRST's philosophy of making education 'real' by placing students in everyday situations. The core of the curriculum aligns with CIA FIRST's School-wide Learner Outcomes, particularly:

​"
Make informed decisions after analysing situations from multiple perspectives" as students need to make financial decisions while considering various options, and learn from both their successes and mistakes. 

What’s more, the MoneyTree curriculum includes habit-forming activities, which mirror CIA FIRST's 16 “Habits of Mind” ethos, particularly 'Managing Impulsivity' as students learn to resist the temptations of overspending while learning to balance their needs and wants.

The programme ensures that students develop good money management habits and attitudes that have a positive impact on the community as a whole.
QUESTIONS

What is MoneyTree? 
MoneyTree a Financial Literacy programme that teaches students, through gamification and real life application, to budget, manage and save money. MoneyTree teaches students about Economics in a fun and practical setting that contributes to their financial education whilst also teaching them invaluable life skills.

What is involved in the lessons?
We teach students in a way which is experimental. Your children are given “money” and a “credit card” and is put through a “mini economy” in which earning, spending, saving and investing are part of the syllabus. 
Students learn important and practical money habits like “save early and save often,” “plan before you spend,” and “paying yourself first.”

Who can participate in MoneyTree lessons? 
This academic year MoneyTree is mandatory for students in grades 3-5 and for full-time international program students in grades 6-8 who do not take the Khmer Elective.

Why MoneyTree? 
Students have the opportunity to learn how money works, how to manage their money through budgeting and how to save money. The MoneyTree curriculum prepares students for very important life situations and reinforces CIA FIRST’s philosophy of education by allowing students to apply their newly learned skills in their own lives. The course focuses on creating good financial habits to align with CIA FIRST’s habits of mind and broader school learner outcomes.

What will my child learn during the lesson? 
According to the age level, different stimulating lessons are designed to engage the students in various money-related habits and topics. They are encouraged to practice smart money skills from a very young age so that when they grow up, they can handle real world scenarios relating to money.


How can I, as a parent, engage with my child’s MoneyTree education?
The student handbook given to all students has a summary of all lessons, so as a parent you can keep track of your child’s progress and discuss what they have learned in class. 
To help you participate in your child’s financial education, parent stamps are provided in the MoneyTree kit. When the trainer sees that a parent has engaged with their child by using these stickers and signing the workbook, the student will be rewarded up to 200 MoneyTree Dollars!
