If anyone knows the money-education gap is real, it's you. You're not the reason it exists; you're how it closes.
"I think this is an amazing idea and there's a huge need for this! I know some adults who could benefit from the 5th grade lessons.
Many of the high school kids I taught didn't understand the difference between debit and credit, or how interest rates work on credit cards or loans. Many of them thought if a loan had a 5% interest rate, they would pay 5% of the purchase price toward interest. Like if something is $100, they thought they paid $105 total.
Starting financial literacy early can help someone build habits that can change their lives."

You have 45 minutes and no time to build anything. Kids run the 12-15 minute digital lesson self-paced, in any browser, with nothing to install. Then the printable becomes the activity. Several are already group-native: Budget Rescue is a card game, the Payment Match-Up runs in pairs.
Pacing that fits real calendars. One lesson a week fills a semester. Two a week fits a nine-week grading period. The finale is a class market day with real profit reports.
No logins. No student accounts. No student data. Kids never create an account, so we never receive a name, an email address, or a score. Progress and results save on the device itself and are never sent to us, which means there is no student record for your IT department to review.
The website uses ordinary web analytics, described in our privacy policy; the lessons themselves send us nothing. Because we hold no student records, we create no education records under FERPA and there is nothing for us to disclose.
Your district may still have its own procurement, accessibility or curriculum review to run. There just isn't a student-data question to answer.
Family missions go home as optional engagement, never graded work, and every one has an in-school alternate: the payment tally moves to the cafeteria line. We don't grade kids on their households.
A 15-question pre/post assessment, per-unit rubrics with answer keys, and a lesson-by-lesson crosswalk mapping every lesson to TEKS 5.10 and the 2021 National Standards, ready to hand to your principal.
Crosswalks exist for Texas, New York, Utah, Iowa and Florida, plus the national standards. Six frameworks, not fifty. If your state isn't one of them, the national standards line is the honest one and we'll tell you so rather than claim your state by name.
The personal finance mandate for grades 5-8 begins this school year, 2026-27, with K-4 following in 2027-28. Our New York crosswalk maps every NYSED elementary objective (14 of 14) and the middle-band objectives a grade 5 classroom can reach (19 of 23) to specific lessons, built against the March 2026 published objectives. Email us and it's yours.
"I think this is a great option for introducing financial education to kids. It is well organized and easy to follow, and the activities are designed to bring out the key financial concepts and develop critical thinking in children.
I really like the challenge worksheet at the end, which reinforces what the child just learned. The content matches what kids actually need today. I wish I had access to this information when I was younger!
I highly recommend this course for fifth graders. It will help them make better decisions, and it gives them the chance to learn by trial and error before the real choices arrive."

$79 is family pricing. Classroom, school and district licensing is priced separately and sensibly. Email hello@networthykids.com with your grade and state and a person replies, usually the founder.
Yes. The lessons run self-paced in any browser with no logins and no student data, the printables work as group activities, and the standards crosswalk is written for your principal. The household license does not cover classroom use, so email us for school pricing.
No accounts, ever. Any browser works: a Chromebook cart, a tablet, a shared desktop. Progress saves on the device it was run on, so a student who moves machines starts that lesson again. In a classroom this is usually the same cart each week and it does not come up.
Not $79 a student. Classroom and school licensing is quoted separately. Email hello@networthykids.com with your grade level and how many students and we'll send a figure and a W-9 if you need one.
