“Personal Finance in a Box” ™

Why Startup Smart Kids is the Right Choice

 

Unlike the alternatives, Startup Smart Kids is a complete solution.

  1. Schools do NOT need to pile this extra workload onto your current teachers, or hire additional staff.
  2. In fact, school do NOT even have to teach it [although they may or may not choose to supplement our instruction*].
  3. Schools do NOT have to schedule the instruction into school hours [although they can].
  4. Schools do NOT have to settle for instructors who aren’t financial experts. 

 

Startup Smart Kids delivers the best of both worlds:

  1. We do all the work:
    • We’ve created the curriculum, then designed & produced the material. We can do all the teaching, progress-tracking & reporting, quiz- & test-grading or schools can designate a moderator.
    • Our hybrid asynchronous + synchronous program includes live Zoom Q&A with the experts.
      • The course can be completed in 5 weeks, but since learning is enhanced when spread out, we recommend 10 weeks. Schools can choose exactly how often they want new video modules released, and depending on the custom box they choose,  students can watch (and re-watch) them whenever they want.
  2. *We provide the school’s staff with teacher’s guides, and extra (individual, small group, and whole class) active learning activities for use with students to further reinforce and apply the learning.
  3. Our program enables every student to learn:
    • at their own pace, or the pace the moderator decides on.
    • at school, or outside of school (or both). 
  4. We understand that schools lack the budget to teach financial literacy, which is a sad irony. With the help of generous donors and sponsors, we have created a zero cost program. Startup Smart Kids is much more than a teacher, or a curriculum — it’s the complete solution, delivered by financial experts.

“This Startup Smart Kids program is great.... It helps [kids, and parents] put the learnings into practice. The lesson videos were easy to understand, I was able to
speak directly to the instructor [for live Q&A], and the quizzes [and active learning activities] helped me discover things I didn't know. I hope to live free from the pain of money in the future. Thank you for this great course.”

“I learned so much! (I particularly loved learning all about compound interest:  it was crazy to me that saving $1 a day can eventually turn into a $Million!) I don't know why Startup Smart Kids’ life-changing information isn't being taught to me and my peers in school.”
