Money & Personal Finance
for homeschool families.

Most adults graduate college not knowing what compound interest is or how a credit card actually works. Cullinan fixes that — financial literacy as a real subject, K-12.

What it covers

From kindergarten through senior year.

  • K-1: coins, want vs need, simple counting money
  • 2-3: save/spend/give jars, making change, simple goals
  • 4-7: budgets, banks, credit cards, compound interest
  • 8-12: stocks + bonds, income tax, Roth IRAs, writing a business plan
The Cullinan approach

Every lesson uses real numbers — not 'imagine you have a dollar.' By grade 8 the kid is reading actual fund prospectuses and IRS publications, then doing math against them. Capstone in 12th grade is a personal finance plan they actually use.

Why it matters

A 16-year-old who understands compound interest opens a Roth IRA. A 16-year-old who doesn't, doesn't. Compound that over 50 years.
