A different kind of class.

Students don’t sit through lectures or move through a worksheet-driven curriculum. We give them a shared topic, worthwhile questions, and enough structure to go somewhere with it. They do the investigating, discussing, making, solving, and thinking.

Investigate real questions

Research, compare evidence, look at examples, and form a point of view instead of waiting for an answer to be handed to them.

Talk through ideas

Use live time to ask questions, explain reasoning, challenge ideas, disagree thoughtfully, and hear how other students see the same problem.

Take on projects and problems

Apply what they’re learning to make something, analyze a situation, solve a problem, or develop a recommendation.

Get feedback and go deeper

Share work, hear questions and reactions, improve their thinking, and decide what’s worth pursuing further.

What the group adds

Exploring with other students means your teen has ideas to react to, questions to answer, and people who can push their thinking further.

Different perspectives

See how other students approach the same question, notice what you might have missed, and consider ideas you would not have reached on your own.

Productive disagreement

Explain your reasoning, respond when someone sees it differently, and decide whether another perspective changes your mind.

Feedback that makes the work better

Put ideas and projects in front of real people, see what holds up, and use their reactions to improve the final result.

Questions we’ll dig into

What makes something a good investment?

Compare risk, potential return, time, and uncertainty, then decide what matters most when evaluating an investment.

Why does starting early matter?

See how time changes saving and investing decisions, and explore what compounding actually does over years.

How do you decide what something is worth?

Look at businesses, investments, and other assets, then compare different ways people judge value.

What would you do with $1,000?

Build a strategy, weigh the tradeoffs, and explain why you made the choices you did.

Capstone: Build and defend a $1,000 investment strategy

Decide how you would allocate the money, weigh risk and potential return, compare your approach with other students, revise your thinking, and defend your final choices.

How the six weeks work

  1. Start with a shared topic

    Everyone begins in the same broad area, with room to pursue different questions and directions.

  2. Investigate and talk through ideas

    Students research, compare evidence, ask questions, challenge assumptions, and learn from how other students see the problem.

  3. Build, test, and improve

    They use what they’re learning to take on a project or problem, get feedback, and revise their work.

  4. Finish and share a capstone

    Every class ends with something real: a finished project, solution, recommendation, strategy, analysis, or other deliverable students can explain and defend.

What you can expect as a parent

You should understand what your teen is exploring and how the experience works without needing to manage the conversations or choose the direction for them.

Know what they’re exploring

Understand the topic and the kinds of questions and ideas your teen is spending time on.

Know what the experience includes

See the basic structure, expectations, and kinds of work students are taking on.

Give them room to participate

Stay informed while your teen contributes, makes choices, and develops their own point of view.

What students and parents are saying

I liked hearing how other people thought about the same question. It made me rethink some of my own ideas.
Student perspective
It felt different from a normal class because we actually talked about what we thought and worked on things together.
Student perspective
I wanted my teen to have more chances to discuss ideas with other students and do something meaningful with what they were learning.

What is Yonder Class?

Yonder Class is a six-week live small-group learning experience built around one shared topic. Students investigate questions, work on projects or problems, and use live time to discuss ideas, get feedback, and learn with other students.

What is the current class about?

The current class explores personal finance, money management, investing, and the stock market.

What happens between live sessions?

Students may research, compare examples, test an idea, or work on something they can bring back to the group. The work gives everyone something real to discuss and build on together.

Does my teen need to know a lot about the topic already?

No. The class is designed for students who are interested enough to explore the topic, not students who already know the answers.

How much does Yonder Class cost?

Each six-week course is $249.
