Three programs, one curriculum, twelve years.
Two grades share a classroom. Each strand comes back every year at the next level, so a Grade 5 student who learns what a tax is will, by Grade 12, be writing a full financial plan.
- Little GeniusGrades 1 to 4An introduction to money, work, fairness and the idea of making something people want, built from coins, jars, class stores and simple agreements.See the year
- Big GeniusGrades 5 to 8The seven strands in full for the first time: money, mortgages and credit, jobs, taxes, law, real estate and business, each going deeper every year.See the year
- Senior ScholarsGrades 9 to 12The same seven strands at the level a young adult needs: paystubs, leases, capital gains, investing, a full financial plan, and what it means to sue and be sued.See the year
750 lessons across Grades 5 to 12. Lessons for Grades 1 to 4 are built to the same calendar. How the program works
Why paper and pencil
Children already spend most of their day on screens. For the one hour they are with us, we want their full attention on the page, the teacher and each other.
Writing by hand also helps ideas stick: a 2024 Norwegian study found that handwriting produces far more elaborate brain connectivity than typing, in the networks tied to memory and learning. Slides are on the wall; nothing is in their hands but a pencil. A device is used only where a learning need requires it.
“When writing by hand, brain connectivity patterns were far more elaborate than when typewriting on a keyboard.”
Taught by certified teachers. Shaped by people who do this for a living.
Every class is taught by an Ontario Certified Teacher or a Registered Early Childhood Educator, with the slides, the worksheet and the answer key prepared for every lesson.
The curriculum was shaped by an eight-member advisory board: a lawyer and real estate broker, a former deputy minister of finance, a paediatric intensive care physician, two chartered professional accountants, an executive, a law enforcement educator and a parent who taught Junior Achievement.
