One program · K–12

Financial literacy that graduates with your students.

First coins in first grade. Budgets by ten. Exchange rates at fifteen. A personal financial plan, built and defended, before graduation. One program, one staircase — every grade a step.

For private and international schools worldwide · English-language editions

A staircase built from ascending stacks of plain gold coins on a deep green backdrop, one coin standing upright at the top.

The staircase

Twelve grades. Every step earns the next.

Our logo is a staircase for a reason. Money habits are not a lecture — they are built one year at a time, each concept standing on the one below it, from the first earned coin to the first read yield curve.

Learning outcomes

What a student can do, stated plainly.

Every grade is built backwards from an observable outcome. These are the exit points — what your students carry out of each stage.

By the end of primary

Grade 6 · age 12

  • Divide any money they receive into earn, save, spend and share — unprompted
  • Name the impulse they feel before a purchase, and use a tool to delay it
  • Plan a month of money before spending it, and adjust when the plan breaks
  • Take apart an advertisement and say exactly what it is doing to them
  • Explain what a bank does with money it holds

By the end of secondary

Grade 9 · age 15

  • Compare real financial products by return, risk and cost
  • Calculate what inflation takes from money left sitting
  • Explain where taxes go, and defend a position on it
  • Build a first mock portfolio and justify its diversification
  • Trace how a currency movement reaches their family’s shopping basket

By graduation

Grade 12 · age 18

  • Present a personal financial plan and defend its assumptions
  • Read a live yield curve and say what it does — and does not — tell them
  • Compare debt-repayment options with real arithmetic
  • Judge an insurance policy, a credit offer and a fintech product on its terms
  • Recognise their own emotional bias before it costs them money

The method

Named tools early. Earned rules later.

Primary students get tools they can hold: the four jars — Earn, Save, Spend, Share — and Hot Brain / Cool Brain, a child-sized language for impulse control taught from age six.

Older students get a different promise: derive, don't assert. Nothing important is handed down as a fact to memorise — students work out for themselves why bond prices fall when rates rise, and the program teaches how the machine works, never what the market will do next.

For schools

From sample pack to adoption, in four steps.

Student books travel through your booklist like any textbook; teaching units come with everything your staff needs. No platform, no devices, no procurement maze.

Review with your team

Coordinators and teachers evaluate real materials — spreads, session plans, rubrics.

Start with one stage

One grade or one stage first, supported throughout — or the whole arc at once.

Grow year by year

The program climbs with your students, one book per student per grade per year.

Why it works

Screens teach clicks. Stories and rehearsal teach judgment.

  • Outcomes you can observe. Every grade defines what a student can do afterwards — make a first earn-save-spend-share split at six, read a yield curve at seventeen — and the materials are built backwards from that.
  • No devices, no logins, no data. Books and print materials work in every classroom on day one.
  • Real numbers, honestly handled. Upper grades read live official market data the week of teaching — and the rubrics award marks for saying what data cannot tell you.
  • Teachers open it and teach. Session plans, activities, answer keys and rubrics, every grade.

Our promise

Every number in every book is machine-checked.

We teach children to check the maths — so we let the maths check us. Every figure in every story, worksheet and answer key is recomputed by software before anything is printed.
