INVEST! Academy
The INVEST! Academy is designed to inspire high school students to become long-term investors through a fun and engaging approach, incorporating the "INVEST!" comic book, the Harkness Method, an interactive teaching style that encourages open discussion, critical thinking and real-life investment case studies into the curriculum.
This program not only introduces students to the fundamentals of value investing but also fosters a long-term mindset and critical thinking skills that will benefit them throughout their academic and professional journeys.
Under the INVEST! Academy, we currently offer two programs: The Library and The Training Camp.
Our Teaching Approach
A unique take on investing literacy.
At Invest! Academy, we make learning about investing engaging, interactive, and practical through four key methods:
Learning through the "Invest!" Comic Book with the Harkness Method
We simplify complex financial concepts using Invest!, our comic book that tells a compelling story about investing. This fun and innovative tool helps students grasp the principles of value investing in an enjoyable way. Using the Harkness Method, instructor encourage students to share their thoughts on specific topics introduced in the comic. Through discussions with peers and the instructor, students articulate their reasoning, actively engage with the material, and develop a thought process similar to that of an investor.
