Online financial literacy course for kids ages 10 to 15

You don’t have to teach your kids financial literacy - MoneyTime does it for you!

MoneyTime is a self-paced online financial literacy programme that empowers children from all walks of life in South Africa.

It provides them with the knowledge and confidence to make good financial decisions and become financially independent as they grow up.

Why teaching your child personal finance is so important

Financial literacy is one of the most important life skills we can give our children, yet it is often neglected.

Far too many kids complete school and enter the adult world without understanding how to manage money wisely.

The result? Thousands of young South Africans who are stuck in poverty, struggling to get ahead, living to work instead of working to live.

The way to change this is to empower them with financial literacy that is relevant to the challenges in South Africa.

What if teaching your child about money was easy?

If you didn't receive sufficient financial education yourself, it can be difficult teaching personal finance to your kids.

That's why MoneyTime is self-taught. You don't have to teach them anything (although it's great if you do).

We make it easy by providing a comprehensive financial literacy course that teaches your child everything they need to know through a fun and highly interactive programme - combining self-taught lessons with a game that teaches real life skills.

MoneyTime has been used & enjoyed by over 130,000 children

What parents are saying

MoneyTime is fantastic! Since my children began the program, they've started a business, are growing plants and hatching chickens to sell, and have created resumes and applied for jobs. We've always had many conversations about money, but MoneyTime has provided the motivation for action. Thank you for an incredibly practical and useful resource!

The great thing about this is that it takes the learning out of a game and makes it real since you are talking about your own family's choices. If you have kids who like to spend time on the computer, this online program is just the ticket. After using the program for a couple of months, I would say yes, it is worth the money, because it is a very thorough program that covers a lot of topics that your kids need to know.

Sheila Rogers

You can’t manage money without understanding how it works, but money is complicated! This is where a program like MoneyTime is gold! This program is very thorough! It teaches the basics, like how a savings account works. Kids have the option of investing in education for higher future earnings. They also get to see how different career choices lead to different earning potential. But that’s only the beginning!

My Kids love this program. Even my surly teenage son. He has just been explaining how he invested in training in the program to get a better job and has been investing virtual money. He has now started saving more and spending less real money from his casual job.

Christian Todd

I feel so good about adding this into what my children are currently learning. I am impressed and would recommend this to anyone and everyone!

Jennifer Stall Nieves

It's such an amazing real life education program learning how to manage your finances and make career choices. My 12yr son who is homeschooled has made an amazing CV and knows how to apply for jobs. This needs to be taught in all schools.
