Our Mission
Adults pay
$167,475 for this.
Nine-year-olds get it free.
That is USC’s published figure for two years of a full-time MBA; Stanford asks more. It buys how pricing, capital and ownership work, at twenty-eight, on a payment plan. We write the same ideas for children, spread across their school years, and charge nobody.
It is not a degree, and we say so at length. It is the material, ten years early, free, for the child whose family could not hand it down. And for the family: the student is meant to go home and teach it.
See which idea lands in which gradeLeadership & Venture
One student, one product, one market day. Then a team, a profit split in fractions, and a rival who prices against you. Grades 4 to 6 are written and free. From Grade 7 it moves to our web app, with Pip the AI tutor and guest speakers in person: Grades 7 and 8 in educator preview, Grade 8 as a draft, Grades 9 to 12 next.
The ten-year ladderFinancial Literacy
A child’s own money first, then a plan, then the gap between a price and a cost, then the numbers other people put in front of them. Grades 3 to 6 are written and free; from Grade 7 it continues in the web app. This knowledge usually arrives through a family, which is why it belongs in a school.
The four money yearsMathematics
Sorting, maps, proofs, routes and rules, beside the state curriculum, not on top of it. Six complete years, Grades 1 to 6, standards-mapped and free. It asks for reasoning, not speed, so it reaches the child still shaky on regrouping.
The six yearsScience
Investigation-led, almost no materials cost, printable in black and white. Six years, Grades 1 to 6, written and free: plants, sound and light; land and materials; causes and fair tests; energy; particles and ecosystems; systems from a cell to the climate. Grades 7 and 8 are unwritten on purpose; high school science is not written yet.
The six yearsThe half we did not write
A workbook has
never taught
anyone anything.
The curriculum is the half of this that can be done alone at a desk. The half that decides whether a child learns anything is done by an adult in a room, and we are not that adult.
The material is being taught. Teachers have written to tell us so, homeschool educators among them. We could not tell you their names; nothing we publish asks for one. What we can say: if a child has learned one thing from these pages, an adult did that. Not the paper, and not us.
If you teach, this page is for youSlow, weekly, inside the school year
The classroom teacher, the instructional aide, the after-school lead, or a caretaker at a kitchen table.
At their own pace, with a room to meet in
Pip, an AI tutor that says plainly it is an AI. In-person guest speakers and fireside chats, organized by founder Cindy Ha, with a teacher from the school in the room.
The one thing we are asking for
We are looking for school districts to host the first pilot year. The first to sign runs a spring test unit in one middle school. From the fall, the full Grade 7 year can run in several districts at once; the lessons are in a web app and nobody needs a seat.
Cindy Ha, the founder, brings in the speakers and intends to be at every session.
Read the askThe founder
She learned this
the hard way.
Cindy Ha grew up in Highland Park, Los Angeles, went through Los Angeles public schools, and was never told how a business works. She found out by opening one, grew it into retail, wholesale, import and e-commerce, sold it, and only then, in an MBA at the University of Southern California, met the field she had been improvising against. This organization hands that field to children two decades earlier.

The ask
Somebody is already teaching this.
19 finished years, free to run, and teachers have written to say they are running them. What has never happened is a program with a roster, a pre and post, and somebody watching. The Grade 7 web app is built for that; it needs a district to say yes. If you teach, take a year. If you run a district, host the first pilot. If you fund education, make it the first program anybody can check.
