Does Young Founder work for homeschool?

Homeschool families are the group this was built around, so it is designed to fit how you already work rather than assuming a classroom.

It runs as a ninety day project. There is a thirteen chapter novel, a workbook chapter for every chapter of the novel, and at the end of it a business that has taken real money from a real customer. A kid can move through it a chapter a week, or faster in a burst, or slower across a semester if the business itself gets busy.

On paperwork, families generally log it under whichever of their state's categories fits: electives, life skills, practical arts, economics, or occasionally math when the money tracking gets serious. Since requirements differ by state, check your own list rather than borrowing someone else's.

It also works in a co-op, and in some ways works better. Kids running different businesses at the same time compare notes, and a kid who has to explain their pricing to five other kids understands it differently than one who only explained it to a parent. The generosity thread in the book has a moment where the characters help a rival, which lands harder in a room full of peers.

What it is not: an accredited course, and it carries no credit of its own. What it produces is a kid with a business, a record of what they did, and something concrete to talk about.
