The common motivation for these High Schools approaching EFLS is that the financial literacy education currently being taught in Edmonton area high schools tend to be very simplistic and primarily focus just on preparing a budget and tracking one's expenses. These High Schools were seeking a more comprehensive educational alternative with a greater behavioral component to teaching personal money management skills to youth and through a variety of referrals, contacted EFLS to assist in fulfilling this unmet need. Furthermore, EFLS' approach also helps teachers to become more focused when they are teaching the C.A.L.M. curriculum and about how to improve the students' awareness of life skills.
EFLS is also happy to assist other requests from schools for other age groups.
