A curriculum built for households

Five tracks, taught in plain language and grounded in primary documents. Every track is education: it helps a household understand a subject and ask better questions of a licensed professional.

Study on your schedule

Tracks can be completed self-paced or with a group. A coordinator will help you choose a format when you register.

Learning formats

In-person cohort

Scheduled sessions with a coordinator, usually hosted by a partnering congregation.

Online live

Live instruction with discussion and questions, joined from home.

Self-paced

Reading and worksheet modules completed on your own schedule.

Small group

Family or ministry groups studying the same track together.

Academy instruction is educational. It does not create a professional relationship and does not replace advice from an attorney, accountant, or financial professional.
