First-of-its-kind AP course brings real-world financial literacy to high school classrooms nationwide
Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU), the global financial technology platform that makes Intuit TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, Mailchimp, and Intuit Enterprise Suite, today announced a partnership with College Board to launch a free set of supplemental real-world tools and resources aligned to Advanced Placement (AP®) Business with Personal Finance. The first-of-its-kind AP course will be available to high school students nationwide starting this fall. Leveraging Intuit for Education, the company's free financial literacy initiative, Intuit has designed digital, activity-based lessons that serve as an optional personal finance resource for educators teaching the course.
AP Business with Personal Finance is a yearlong high school course aligned with an introductory, college-level business course. Students will explore the business disciplines of entrepreneurship, marketing, finance, accounting, and management, and also learn and apply all the National Standards for Personal Finance education created by the Council for Economic Education and the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy. Intuit for Education's provided resources include 24 interactive exercises, in addition to a comprehensive financial-planning project, all leveraging Intuit's suite of tools, including TurboTax, QuickBooks, Mailchimp, and Credit Karma. From filing a tax return and understanding credit, to managing a small business, these offerings immerse students in simulations that mirror real-world financial decisions they will actually face throughout their lives. Intuit for Education's interactive resources help students build essential money management and entrepreneurship skills through realistic, relevant practice.
