This article focuses on financial education in high school and the relationship between financial literacy, financial-related consciousness, financial activities, and the effects of the three financial lessons with collaboration of specialists. Accordingly, it analyzes the reports of students from the perspectives of human development and the acceptability of reality. High school students are classified into four groups based on their financial-related consciousness and activities. After three lessons, students’ human development and acceptability of reality levels increased. However, few relationships were found between financial-related consciousness and activity groups. The results highlighted the importance of maintaining financial lessons to improve students’ human development and acceptability of reality compared to their existing financial consciousness and activities.
