WealthWise Kids™ · Institutional framework
The i3 Framework™
A learning architecture built on a single belief: every student, educator, and community partner shares one arc — and one pronoun.
The Core Belief
Financial education fails when it stays in the classroom.
Knowledge without experience doesn’t transfer. Experience without structure doesn’t scale. Structure without data doesn’t prove anything. The i3 Framework™ closes all three gaps — in sequence, by design.
Every WealthWise Kids™ program belongs to one of three pillars. Together they form a complete arc — from first spark to measurable, data-backed community impact.
The Three Pillars
Students
iMAGINE
What's possible when money makes sense.
Every learner begins with imagination — a world where financial decisions feel real, consequences are visible, and curiosity drives the next choice. Students don't study finance. They experience it.
Educators & Facilitators
iMPART
The skills that make financial confidence last.
Certified practitioners don't just deliver content — they transfer something that stays. The tools, the frameworks, the language of financial self-determination. Facilitated by trained educators. Grounded in research.
Districts, Funders & Communities
iMPACT
My community, with impact it can measure.
Student decisions are recorded as behavioral data points. The FLIQ Score™, an emerging measure, is designed to turn them into outcomes your board can see, your funders can cite, and your community can feel. Impact is not claimed here. It is measured, and the report shows whatever the result is.
In Practice
What the i3 Framework™ looks like in your school.
Week 1 · iMAGINE
Students run The $100 Week™
Every student completes the free 5-day simulation. Every choice they make counts toward their FLIQ Score™. No prep required. No budget required.
Weeks 2–6 · iMPART
Facilitators deliver Financial Foundations™
Certified iMPACT Partners™ run the 5-week curriculum. Facilitators use the class FLIQ Score™ report to choose where to focus. (Lessons that adapt to each student's profile are planned, not yet built.)
End of Term · iMPACT
Your school has its first two readings
FLIQ Score™ readings at the start and at week five. How your students’ decisions moved: observed score movement, not yet proof of impact. Formatted for your board, your grant report, and your community.
Give a child a real decision, let them feel the outcome, and show them how their thinking is growing. That’s when money sense actually takes hold.
The WealthWise Kids™ Belief
“I imagine it. I impart it. I impact the world with it.”
