Why this exists

School covers a lot. The timetable runs out anyway.

  • They can graph a line. Nobody has shown them how interest quietly doubles money, or debt.
  • They know the formulas. They don't know why owning something that pays you beats trading hours for dollars.
  • They can name every planet. They can't name the red flags of a scam text.
  • They write five-paragraph essays. They have never written the two-line email that gets a reply.

None of that is a teacher's fault. There are 180 school days, a packed syllabus, and a list of skills that never makes the cut: money, investing, media, scams, screens, AI. Those get learned at home, or they get learned the hard way at 25, with real money on the line.

This program is the at-home part, so you have a plan instead of a nagging feeling.

Where this ends up

Picture the last day of the program.

Your kid understands how business works and has the confidence to start one, because they just did. They know how to build the sign and the logo on it too, with an AI tool they learned to direct instead of fear. The prices cover costs with room for profit, because they worked out both on paper first. Customers come and go. Change gets counted out loud. They understand supply and demand, cost structures, and how to leave with a profit.

That night at the kitchen table, they walk you through a one-page profit-and-loss written in pencil and tell you, to the dollar, what they earned. Then they tell you what they'd do differently next time. That part is the whole point.

That is week 10. Week 1 opens with a much simpler question: why is a ten-dollar bill worth anything at all?

The payoff

By the end, your child can do things most adults still google.

Build a real budget and explain how compound interest quietly grows money, year after year.

Explain what an asset is, how people get wealthy by owning things that pay them, and why starting early beats starting big.

Catch the red flags of a scam text or phishing email before anyone in the house clicks.

Work out the discount, the tax, and the tip in their head, and spot which deal is actually better.

Explain how free apps make money, why feeds are sticky, and set their own screen rules.

Name the trick a headline or an ad is pulling, and split a fact from an opinion in one read.

Use AI as a tool: write a clear prompt, catch it being confidently wrong, and make real things with it.

Run a real mini-business from idea to profit, and explain where every dollar went.

What's inside

Ten modules. Forty lessons. Ten things they make or do.

One coherent track built for ages 7 to 13, with room to stretch on either side. Self-paced, or run it in 10 weeks. Each module ends in a project your kid can hold up and show you, and the whole arc feeds the capstone.

1

Money & Value

Why money is worth anything, what banks do with it, and what things really cost.

2

Growing Money

Compound interest, the Rule of 72, what an asset is, and why starting early beats starting big.

3

Smart-Shopper Math

Discounts, tax, tips, and unit prices, plus the odds behind good decisions.

4

Read Like a Detective

Main ideas, claims versus evidence, and how to summarize anything.

5

Spotting Spin

How headlines, ads, and clickbait persuade, and how AI fakes get spotted.

6

Life Online

How free apps earn money, why feeds are sticky, and where scams hide.

7

How the Universe Works

The scientific method, hands-on magnet experiments, and real space science.

8

Creating with AI

Prompting well, building a tiny app, designing a logo, verifying everything.

9

Real-World Ready

Cooking, planning, first aid, emails that get answered, and how taxes work.

10

Capstone: Run a Mini-Business

Plan it, price it, market it, run it for real, and count the profit.

"At dinner our son explained compound interest to my husband like he was teaching the class. Two weeks ago, he had no idea what interest or debt meant. Now he keeps asking what kind of business he should start."

Lauren M., parent of an 11-year-old

"I was skeptical because most online programs feel like busywork. But my daughter actually asked to do the next lesson. The financial literacy sections were the moment I realized this was teaching her things school never covers."

Michael R., parent of a 12-year-old

"This gave my kid the kind of practical confidence I wish I had learned earlier. It feels more useful than another tutoring session because he's learning how business, decisions, and the real world actually work."

Priya S., parent of a 10-year-old

Getting started

Three steps, about two minutes.

STEP 1

Create your account

You are the account holder. Kids are profiles inside, with no logins of their own.

STEP 2

Tell us about your week

Days, minutes, one kid or four. The plan shapes itself around practices, camps, and real life.

STEP 3

Do lesson one today

Run it together, or let your kid drive while you skim the answer key after.

Built for ages 7 to 13 You pick the days and minutes Together or solo, your call Works in any browser
Built to finish

Plenty of programs start well. This one is built to get finished.

📅

A plan shaped like your week

You set the days and minutes, and the schedule fits around real life instead of demanding your family fit around it. Busy week? The plan bends. It never breaks.

🧠

Built for remembering

Flashcards resurface each idea right before it fades, and every lesson closes with a quick self-check. Spaced repetition and retrieval practice, the two best-proven techniques in learning science.

📈

Progress both of you can see

Lessons check off, the map fills in, the glossary grows. Your kid watches themselves getting somewhere real, and you can see it from across the room.

🏁

An ending kids want to reach

Week 10 is a real business your kid runs. The budget from week 1, the math from week 3, and the AI ad from week 8 all get used there. The finish line pulls.

Who made this

Built at a kitchen table, ready for yours.

Many of us have full-time jobs and kids we wish were taught more in school. We have the same worry you have: your child can ace a math quiz and still have no idea what a credit card costs, how investing works, or why some families build wealth and others never get the chance to learn how.

We went looking for one program that taught financial literacy, decision-making, avoiding scams, screens, AI, and plain old life skills without lecturing kids or wasting their afternoons. We could not find it. So we created it, lesson by lesson, at our own kitchen table. More than 15,000 students later, we are still building it the same way.

Every video has been vetted heavily. Every answer key has been worked out thoroughly. The bar for every lesson is very high.

A year of the whole program costs about as much as three hours with a tutor, and every membership starts with a 14-day money-back guarantee. All we ask is that you actually run it with your kid, and tell us what to make better.

The careful-parent section

Built for kids. Run by parents.

You own the account. Kids are profiles inside it: no logins, no inbox, no strangers, nothing to scroll.

Your child's identity stays out of it. No real name required, no email, no photos, no location. Just a nickname, an age, and lesson work like progress and quiz attempts. Never sold, never shared, never used for ads. Delete it anytime.

Kid mode locks the grown-up pages. Answer keys, settings, and billing stay behind your side of the account.

Every video is hand-picked and age-checked before it gets near a lesson. No ads anywhere, for them or for you.

On the sensitive stuff, we teach the mechanics and skip the sermon. Kids see how an app makes money or how a headline manipulates, then draw their own conclusions. The values conversation stays at your table.

Flexible by design. Heavy sports season, travel, a chaotic month: the plan reshapes itself and picks back up where you left off.

Pricing

One membership. The whole growing library.

A single hour with a tutor runs $50 to $80. This is the full program, every week, all year, for about $17 a month.

Questions parents actually ask

Everything else you'd want to know.

What ages does this work for?
The track is built for ages 7 to 13, and it stretches. Younger kids run it in together mode with you nearby. Older kids run it solo and go deeper on the projects, especially the mini-business. Every kid lands differently, which is exactly what the 14-day guarantee is for: run two weeks and see where yours lands.
How much time does it really take?
You tell the plan how many days and minutes your week actually has, and it builds around that. A lesson is a short vetted video, a hands-on activity, and a quick self-check. Most families run a few sessions a week and finish in about 10 weeks. Slower is fine. The plan bends around sports seasons and travel, and picks back up where you left off.
Do I have to teach it myself?
No. The videos and activities carry the teaching, and your kid can run it solo. If you have the time and want in, together mode plus the Parent Guide (every answer key and teaching note) makes you the smartest person at the table. Many parents skim the answer key in two minutes at night and use it as a dinner conversation starter.
Does this replace school?
No. School handles reading, writing, and core math all day. This covers the list that never makes the timetable: money, investing, scams, media, screens, AI, and running something real. Think of it as the class you wish had existed, running quietly alongside the ones that do.
How does pricing work?
$199 a year at the founding price (about $17 a month, locked for as long as you stay a member; the standard price moves to $249 after launch) or $47 a month with one-click cancel. Your first child is included, and each additional kid is $19 a month or $99 a year. Everything above is in every membership. There are no upsells inside.
Can I cancel easily?
Yes. One click from your account page, no chat with a retention agent, no phone call. Monthly members can cancel anytime, and every new membership starts with the 14-day money-back guarantee.
What happens with my child's data?
Almost nothing exists to happen to it. No real name, no email, no photos, no location. A nickname, an age, and lesson progress. It is never sold, never shared, never used for ads, and you can delete it anytime. Kids have no logins, no inbox, and nothing to scroll.
Will it push values or politics on my kid?
We teach mechanics and skip the sermon. Kids see exactly how an app makes money or how a headline manipulates, then draw their own conclusions. Lessons are built around vetted sources like Khan Academy, PBS, TED-Ed, and NASA, and the values conversation stays at your table, where it belongs.
What if we start strong and fizzle?
The whole system is built against fizzle: a plan shaped around your real week, spaced-repetition review, progress both of you can watch fill in, and a capstone (a real business your kid runs) that pulls them forward. And if the first two weeks don't grab your kid anyway, the guarantee means you're out nothing.

You figured this stuff out the hard way.

Your kid doesn't have to. Ten weeks from now they could be handing you the profit-and-loss from their first tiny business. Create your account and run the first lesson tonight.
