After several years of running the high school program, the parents of our students, many of whom have MBAs and were working in business, asked if they could take the class.

At first, we thought no. This is only for high school students. But then we ran a pilot and discovered it worked really well and met a real need for adults.

Many adults feel they have a gap in their business education – especially as it concerns finance and the stock market. So now we have a public program for adults. It uses the same curriculum, the same great volunteer faculty, but the students are all adults (oh, and all the fees are donated to develop our program for under-served youth).
