Be better than the best
As students advance through the grades of ExplorerHop financial education courses, they develop industry level skills and strategies. In Level 5 of the Camp Millionaire series, students are taught at a 3rd-year university level. In Level 8 they utilize concepts that are taught at a Masters level.
When a student completes an entire ExplorerHop course series, they are equipped with the knowledge of a strong industry professional.
Make a difference to your family
ExplorerHop students learn how to plan for their future. Early financial literacy empowers children to understand and challenge how the world works. When your child understands the value of money, they can begin actualizing practical ways to grow it.
