We don’t teach money.
We make it make sense.
A hands-on summer program for kids ages 11–17 that blends financial literacy, design thinking, and public speaking — taught through building real business ideas, not memorizing theory.
Open-book model: we show you exactly where tuition goes — because we teach money honestly.
School teaches formulas. Life demands judgment.
Most kids grow up without learning how money actually works — not as a concept, but as a system. The result is smart kids who feel uncertain when money enters the conversation.
- How businesses make (or lose) money
- Why good ideas fail without good math
- How pricing works
- How to explain value confidently
The Money Club closes that gap through hands-on building, real-world logic, and confident communication.
Built like a business — because that’s how learning sticks.
This isn’t a lecture series. Students learn by doing — in a small cohort with trained instructors.
Week structure (example)
- Find a real problem worth solving
- Design a simple solution
- Cost it, price it, and understand margin
- Test demand with signals (not surveys)
- Build a pitch and present with confidence
End-of-program outcome
Every student can explain what they made, how it works, what it costs, how it’s priced, and why someone would pay — then present it clearly.
We teach financial literacy — so we run the program with financial transparency.
Most programs hide their economics. We believe that defeats the point. Here’s exactly how the summer program works — in plain math.
Student Fees
20 kids × $500 = $10,000
Costs
2 instructors paid $2,000 each = -$4,000
Space + insurance + materials = -$2,000
-----------------------------------------------
Remaining margin = $4,000

This is open-book learning: kids learn best when adults model money honestly.
Practical modules that build capability (not just confidence).
The curriculum blends business fundamentals with design thinking and communication. Students learn the mechanics behind real-world decisions: costs, value, demand, and clarity.
Money fundamentals
Costs, pricing, margin, cash flow basics — why businesses fail.
Design thinking
Observe friction, find problems, test solutions, iterate quickly.
Public speaking
Explain value clearly, pitch confidently, answer questions.

Common questions (and honest answers).
Keep this short. Remove doubt. Make it easy to say yes.
Is this a “get rich” program?
No. It’s a “make money make sense” program: how value is created, how pricing works, and how to communicate clearly — without hype or pressure.
Does my child need business experience?
No. The program is designed for beginners. Curiosity is the only prerequisite.
Why include the income statement upfront?
Because transparency is part of the lesson. We teach money honestly, so we run the program honestly.
What will my child leave with?
A clear understanding of costs/pricing/value, a finished mini-project, and the confidence to present it.
