FAQ

  • Why only 5 courses? Other finance curriculums run a full year.

    Because your teen doesn't need 180 days of theory — they need to be ready for their first paycheck, their first bank account, their first credit card, and their first tax return. The Big 5 covers budgeting, credit, investing, insurance, and taxes with the academic padding cut out and the real mechanics kept in: actual numbers, actual forms, actual math. Five focused courses your student will actually finish beats a doorstop curriculum gathering dust on the shelf.

  • We have more than one student. Do we need to buy the course again?

    No — one purchase covers your whole family. Just email us at [email protected] with each additional student's name and email, and we'll enroll them at no charge. Each student gets their own account, their own progress, and their own certificate.

  • What exactly is included in each course?

    Every course — whether you buy one topic or the full Big 5 bundle — includes the online reading lessons, a quiz after each lesson, an open-and-go printable workbook with vocabulary and bonus worksheets, a 15-question unit test, full answer keys for parents, and a printable certificate when your student passes. One purchase, everything included — no upsells hiding inside.

  • What grades are these courses for?

    Every course is written for grades 8–12. Younger students (8th–10th) may want to read the lessons with you; older teens can run a full course solo — and the bonus worksheets in the open-and-go workbooks give your 11th and 12th graders a real challenge. If your student is about to earn their first paycheck, open their first account, or drive their first car, they're ready.

  • How long does each course take?

    As long as you want it to — that's the point. Every course in the Big 5 is built as a one-week unit: one short reading lesson a day, then the unit test on day five. But there's no timer on anything. A motivated teen can finish a course's lessons in a couple of sittings, or you can stretch it to one lesson a week over a month. Add the printable workbook alongside the online lessons and a single course becomes a meatier unit study with vocabulary and bonus worksheets. Fast pass or deep dive — the certificate is earned by passing the unit test, whenever that happens.
