Students in both versions meet in the same live class sessions, but students in Honors courses have about 30% more readings and assignments, including projects that are more challenging. Students are welcome to enroll in whichever version fits best for them and can switch within the first twenty-one days of the semester. Honors courses are not available in the self-paced format. - Freedom to participate in other programs and extracurriculars - Freedom to go deeper in other areas of interest - Time to process what you’re learning without being overwhelmed by assignments and readings - Opportunities for deeper readings, discussions, and analysis - Challenging assignments exploring themes, lessons, and characters in the liberal arts - Freedom to thoroughly explore the subject material ![self-paced online course](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/Icons%20Badges/ico-bar-3.svg) ![self-paced online course](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/WHITE%20selfpaced.svg) #### Self-Paced Courses If your student works well independently or needs more flexibility to work around other activities, our self-paced courses are an ideal option and provide a richer, more personal experience than many other asynchronous online courses.

Some students prefer alternative math programs; others put in long hours practicing musical instruments, competing on an athletic team, or participating in internships. Students can earn credit for these and other activities by enrolling in an Independent Studies course, provided they fulfill the course requirements (see the above course links for full details). - Earn credit for things you are already doing and enjoy - Access to a mentor while working independently to complete education hours Why This Class In a world of many negative ideas about money and of poor financial role models in business, government, and society at large, you know your student needs a healthy, positive relationship with their finances. This course gives your student an in-depth introduction to money and its purpose and role in their lives. Mentors in this course guide students to develop the knowledge, habits and character traits to manage their finances successfully. Students complete a month-long budgeting project and explore stories that show them the impact of strong financial stewardship (or a lack thereof) on the lives of each character. In the final project of this course, students apply their new knowledge by participating in a stock market investment competition. By participating in this course, students gain the skills and confidence to set empowering goals and apply consistent financial habits. They learn to see through common myths and misconceptions about money and prepare to live a prosperous life on their terms. ![Featured Image](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/financial-leadership.jpeg) [![REGISTER NOW](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/8517951/88ac3225-76e8-42c6-b779-0d65b82fa80e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/8517951/88ac3225-76e8-42c6-b779-0d65b82fa80e) **Course Details** Recommended Grade: 11th (Junior) Prerequisites: None Estimated Weekly Hours: 5 Format: Live, self-paced Credits: 0.5 ### Reading List ![Group 166](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/Group%20166.svg) The Richest Man in Babylon by George S.
