What this course is

Most schools teach calculus before they teach a paycheck. This course fixes that. Teens learn how money actually works in the real world — how to budget, save, invest, and avoid the financial traps that quietly drain decades of opportunity from most adults.

Weekly 90-minute sessions, hands-on budgeting and investing simulations.

Why it matters

Compound interest works just as ruthlessly on debt as it does on wealth. Teens who learn to use money strategically gain a head start that can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars over their lifetime.
