Our own curriculum

Written for every grade from 1 to 12, with Canadian examples.

Small classes

Ten or fewer students per class, so every child gets a turn.

Certified teachers

Every class is taught by an Ontario Certified Teacher.

Paper and pencil

No screens in class. Worksheets a teacher checks.

Four subjects

One for every grown-up decision.

A real question from each subject. Try one.

MoneyGrade 6 sample

You save $100 at 5 per cent a year. What do you have after 2 years?

See the answer

$110.25. In year two you earn interest on your interest too. That is compound interest.

BusinessGrade 4 sample

A cup of lemonade costs 30¢ to make and sells for $1. You sell 40. What did you keep?

See the answer

$28 profit: $40 in sales minus $12 in costs.

Real estateGrade 9 sample

A $500,000 home with 20 per cent down. How big is the mortgage?

See the answer

$400,000. The bank lends what the down payment does not cover.

LawGrade 8 sample

You agree by text to sell your bike for $80. Is that a contract?

See the answer

It can be. An offer, an acceptance and something of value can make a contract, even by text.

How a class works

They learn it by doing it.

A jar to save in. A lemonade stand to run. A contract to read.
