Congratulations are in order! Students from Metro Prep’s VENTURE Programme and business-related courses recently competed in the May 2026 University of Waterloo Financial Literacy Competition and came home with impressive results.
Hosted by the University of Waterloo School of Accounting and Finance, the semi-annual competition challenges high school students to test their financial knowledge against peers across Canada. Participants answer 60 questions in 65 minutes, covering topics such as banking, investing, budgeting, accounting, credit, economics, post-secondary financing, home ownership, and financial safety.
This year’s competition drew more than 1,100 students and nearly 70 teachers from across the country, and Metro Prep students more than held their own.
Congratulations to the following students on their achievements:

The VENTURE Programme equips students with practical fluency in entrepreneurship, financial planning, international trade, and business decision-making. Through classroom learning, external competitions, and experiential projects, students build the financial confidence and problem-solving skills to connect academic knowledge with real decisions. These results reflect that preparation in action.
Congratulations to all participating students on their excellent performance. We look forward to seeing what this talented group accomplishes next.
