Financial literacy is in your curriculum

Teach money skills they'll actually use

Students earn a salary from classroom jobs, spend at your class store, and save for goals they choose. Financial literacy practiced every day — not just taught from a worksheet.

Free for teachersNo student emails neededCOPPA & FERPA compliant

Up and running in one prep period

No training required, no student emails collected — three steps and your classroom economy is live.

1

Create your classroom

Add your student roster — no emails needed — name your currency, and print login cards. Start from a template or build your own economy.

2

Post jobs and stock your store

Give jobs a salary and a payday schedule. Add rewards students actually want, priced however you like.

3

Run your first payday

Students earn, spend, and save. Every transaction records itself — you just teach.

One small economy, a year of teachable moments

ClassCents handles the bookkeeping so the lessons happen on their own.

Students live the core loop

Earn, spend, save — the habits that make up financial literacy, practiced all year with money they care about.

Earn

Classroom jobs pay a salary on payday — daily, weekly, or monthly. Bonuses recognize great moments the second they happen.

Spend

Your class store, your prices. Students weigh wants against their balance and live with the choice.

Save

Savings goals give students a reason to skip the impulse buy — and the pride of reaching the target.

Less managing, more teaching

The bookkeeping runs itself, so classroom economy time is teaching time — not admin time.

One-Click Awards

Award or adjust points for one student or the whole class in seconds, with a reason attached.

Payday Runs Itself

Salaries pay out automatically on your schedule. You can require jobs be marked done before payday pays.

Every Transaction on Record

Automatic history with timestamps and reasons — point disputes end with a glance at the ledger.

Safe, secure & teacher-controlled

Built with student privacy and teacher autonomy in mind. You maintain complete control.

No Student Emails

Students sign in with printable login cards you control — no personal accounts, no collected data.

COPPA & FERPA Compliant

Built to strict educational privacy standards with secure infrastructure.

Complete Control

You decide what students can see, when they can access it, and how your economy runs.

Curriculum standards

It's already in your curriculum

Financial literacy isn't an extra. Your curriculum already asks for it — and a classroom economy is the most natural way to teach it. Every standard comes with activities built on the earning, spending, and saving your students already do.
