This program is built for motivated kids

We keep class sizes small and expectations high — here's who thrives in Summit Financial Academy.

✅ Great fit if your child...

Has an interest in money, investing, or business — even just curiosity.

Is in middle or high school and ready to engage in real discussions.

Has a basic understanding of division, percentages, and decimals.

Wants to get ahead — not just keep up.

⚠️ Worth knowing before you enroll...

This is not a passive class — students are expected to participate and engage.

Prior financial knowledge isn't required, but basic math confidence helps.

Class sizes are intentionally small — seats fill up and we don't add more.

If you're unsure, book a free 15-minute call first. Seriously.

Before you enroll

How does the $50 deposit work?
The $50 deposit secures your child's spot in the next available cohort and is fully refundable up to 7 days before the program start date. The remaining balance of $1,500 is invoiced separately after enrollment is confirmed. You won't be charged the full amount upfront.
Do students need prior financial knowledge?
No — we start from the ground up. Students should have a basic understanding of division, percentages, and decimals, but no prior financial knowledge is needed or expected. We meet students where they are.
What exactly is included in the $1,500 tuition?
Everything — all 10 weekly 90-minute in-person sessions, student portal access (live notes, flashcards, quizzes), weekly parent recaps, light homework materials, and a graduation certificate. There are no hidden fees or add-ons.
What if my child misses a class?
Life happens. Students have access to the student portal to review materials and stay on track. We ask that families communicate absences in advance so we can help students catch up before the next session.
Where exactly are classes held?
Classes are held in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metro area. The exact address is provided upon enrollment confirmation. Evening time slots are available to work around school and family schedules.
Is there a payment plan available?
If you'd like to discuss payment options, book a quick 15-minute call and we can walk through what works for your family. We want the program to be accessible — just reach out.
My child is in elementary school — can they join?
Not yet — the elementary program is currently in development and launching in 2026. You can reserve early access today and we'll notify you as soon as enrollment opens.
