Good grades are no longer a guarantee

The premise that good grades and a qualification will ensure job and financial security is no longer valid — especially in a world being reshaped by AI. Entrepreneurial thinking, money management and resilience are built the same way reading is: through repeated, hands-on experience from a young age. That is exactly what this curriculum delivers — your child starts and runs a real micro-business, and learns to manage real money, at every age and stage.

The Young Entrepreneurs Pathway

One levelled journey, ages 7 to 18

Two tracks at every age — Entrepreneurship and Be Centsable financial literacy — with a new experiential level each year, so children never repeat and always grow.

Minipreneurs

Ages 7–8
Entrepreneurship

Minipreneurs

Characters, stories and play spark the entrepreneurial spirit — building confidence, creativity, resilience and people skills.

Levels 1–2
Be Centsable

Money Basics

What money is and where it comes from — banks, needs vs wants, budgeting and saving, through games and play.

Levels 1–2

Kidpreneurs

Ages 9–12
Entrepreneurship

Kidpreneurs

A roadmap through the full entrepreneurial process: product, branding, production, market research, costing, marketing and selling — ending in a real Market Day.

Money & the Economy

The world of work, earning, financial goals, budgeting, charitable giving and first investment concepts.

Levels 1–3

BizTeens

Ages 13–15
Entrepreneurship

BizTeens

Teens start a real business that can sustain itself through high school — building the traits and behaviours behind entrepreneurial success.

Levels 1–2
Be Centsable

Serious Money Skills

Responsible spending, the economy, currency and trade, budgets for saving, sharing, spending and investing, interest, assets vs liabilities.

Level 1

Licence to Lead

Ages 16–18
Employability & Workplace Readiness

Licence to Lead

21st-century business attributes, real-world work experience and workplace readiness: self-leadership, independence, resilience, innovation, critical thinking and being enterprising.

Capstone

Every programme is a focused 15-week course. The Entrepreneurship track culminates in your child's own Market Day; Be Centsable then runs a further 15 weeks — together, a full 30-week year. And every year moves to a fresh experiential level, because mindsets are built through repetition, not once-off exposure.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do I need business or teaching experience to run this?

None. The Parent Guide scripts every session step by step. You facilitate; the curriculum does the teaching. Thousands of children have completed these programmes with facilitators who had no business background.

How much time does it take each week?

One to two sessions per week of roughly 60 minutes. Each programme runs 15 weeks; the Head Start Bundle (Entrepreneurship + Be Centsable) fills a full 30-week year. It fits comfortably alongside any core homeschool curriculum as your business / economics / life-skills subject.

Can I customize it for my co-op or centre?

Yes — that's what the site licence is for. The Facilitator Guides are built for group delivery and are fully adaptable: combine age groups, adjust sessions, and run a shared Market Day.

Is it South African? Will it work for my family elsewhere?

The method was developed and proven in South Africa since 2014, and the homeschool edition is produced in localized versions — currency, spelling and examples adjusted for your region.

What exactly happens with my deposit?

It reserves your founding-family place and locks in 30% off your first purchase at launch. It is fully refundable at any time, for any reason. If we don't launch, every deposit is returned automatically.
