Why This Program?

The educational landscape is evolving, and so are the financial challenges that young learners face. The curriculum is designed to engage children and foster a deeper understanding of money management and economic principles. Students will be introduced to scenarios that heighten their interest in real-world economics, inspiring them to think critically about their financial futures.

As crucial as it is for students to pursue their dreams, they often face the harsh reality of whether those ambitions are financially viable. The 'Parent-Child Wealth Building Academy' was born from the necessity to bridge this gap. By imparting knowledge on financial matters, it empowers kids to address real-world challenges and equips them with the tools to navigate their aspirations successfully.

Transforming Lives Through Financial Literacy

One of the standout features of this program is its ability to prompt behavior change among participants. Parents have expressed their delight at observing their children’s newfound interest in current events, economics, and even the stock market. This evolution in perspective is crucial in drawing a clear connection between classroom learning and the practical applications in life.

For instance, one parent received this hopeful feedback from their fifth grader: "I want to read the Nikkei Newspaper, and I’m interested in buying stocks." Additionally, teenagers who once had vague aspirations are now making informed career choices, driven by their exposure to various economic concepts.

Engaging and Dynamic Learning Experience

Unlike traditional learning formats, which may feel monotonous, the 'Parent-Child Wealth Building Academy’ is designed to keep participants engaged through interactive quizzes and activities, which encourage participation and enthusiasm. Feedback from past participants has been overwhelmingly positive, praising the program's capacity to maintain focus and stimulate curiosity.

Expert Guidance

The program is led by financial planning experts who focus strictly on educational outreach without pushing specific financial products. Tatsuya Taniguchi, the principal instructor, brings a wealth of experience from his years at major financial institutions, ensuring that all sessions are insightful and beneficial for attendees.

As a bonus, participants can also explore Taniguchi’s well-regarded book, 'Investment Explained through Diagrams for Ages 10 and Up', which serves as a supplementary guide.
