Free Homeschool Personal Finance Course (Grades 8–12)

The real-world money skills public school skips — paychecks, taxes, banking, and credit. Your student works through it online at their own pace: 3 plain-language readings, each followed by a quick knowledge check, then a recap and a final exam that earns a certificate. Every course also includes a downloadable PDF workbook that reinforces the lessons and adds bonus worksheets, vocabulary, and writing prompts for pen-and-paper practice — or skip it and stay fully online. No prep, no planning, no cost. Open-and-go.

Real-World Topics

Paychecks, taxes, banking, and credit — how money actually works before your student is out on their own, not textbook theory.

Learn by Doing

Readings, knowledge checks, and a final exam that earns a certificate — plus an optional printable PDF workbook for pen-and-paper practice. Not just videos to watch.

Buy Once, Teach Every Child

Create the account in your first student's name (that's the name printed on the certificate), and email us to add your other students free — each gets their own account and certificate.

About the Course

Here's exactly what you're getting: a free, self-paced online course built around 3 short readings — each followed by a quick knowledge check — plus a course recap and a final exam that earns your student a certificate of completion. It also includes a downloadable, printable PDF workbook that reinforces the online lessons and goes further, with bonus worksheets, vocabulary pages, and writing prompts to complete by hand — use it for extra practice, or skip it and keep everything online. Your student learns how a paycheck really arrives (and why it's smaller than expected), how bank accounts, debit, and credit actually work, and how to sidestep the costly mistakes that trip up most young adults. Written for grades 8–12 to complete independently or alongside a parent or teacher — zero prep for you. We built this for our own kids because we wanted them to know this before they left home. It's the foundation for everything else in the course library. Enroll free and see the difference for yourself.
