Here's What People Are Saying

My 11-year-old daughter and 13-year-old son LOVED the Foundations in Personal Finance: Middle School Homeschool Edition. I know they feel more prepared for their futures and capable with the money they are handling already. We have educated at home for 8 years and they have never had such a positive response to a curriculum before!
— Jamie G., Homeschool Parent
How do missionary kids in South Sudan begin to learn the basics of personal finance? By studying Foundations in Personal Finance: Middle School Homeschool Edition. The 8 middle schoolers on our team have little exposure to the realities and challenges of handling money that so many of their peers experience. We are grateful for this tool that is helping to prepare our kids for their eventual transition back into life in North America.
— Steve W., Missionary
This course was our son's favorite! He would complete 5 lessons a day by choice instead of asking to play video games! We are so excited to teach him important life skills and he is already starting to invest at 11 years old now. We will definitely be keeping this course for future kids and referring back to it in upcoming years!
