Why The Money School

Your school teaches a lot.
Money isn't one of them.

Most states don't require a personal finance course for high school graduation. The Money School fills that gap — in person, with a licensed CPA instructor, in a structured 9-week format that actually sticks.

🏫
In-Person Learning
No distractions. Real discussion. Accountability that online courses can't match.
🎓
Licensed CPA Instructor
Professional-grade financial expertise brought directly into the classroom.
🎯
Small Cohorts
Maximum 12 students per session — real conversations and instructor attention.
📜
Certificate of Completion
Students who complete the course earn a Certificate of Financial Fluency.

Only 57% of Americans are financially literate. The best time to change that is before they graduate high school.
