OBS Financial Literacy Project Week
We give our students a head start on financial success with our intensive Financial Literacy Project Week. Over five days, students master essential money management skills while gaining hands-on experience with investment concepts through Interactive Brokers’ professional-grade educational platform. The curriculum moves from fundamental personal finance topics like budgeting and credit to sophisticated concepts including stock analysis and risk management – all in a safe, simulated environment. Our programme goes beyond traditional classroom learning, providing practical tools and confidence-building experiences that prepare students for real-world financial decisions. Through 40 dynamic lessons, participating students will develop crucial skills that schools rarely teach but are essential for college and beyond.
