The Entire Money Tree programme is divided into several products:
MoneyTree Academy (Weekly Modular Program)
Fast Track (Face to Face) Camps
Young Entrepreneurs’ Start Up programme (Y.E.S.)
Money Tree Academy
The Academy Model is based on a local licensee model. Similar to a tuition centre, the Academy offers weekly classes where students attend “classes” in groups (maximum 20 to a class). That is where the similarities end.
The Academy conducts sessions based on the Money Tree Content Syllabus that incorporates a Learning Through Play philosophy. Students run through a series of modules that require them to make a series of financial decisions, utilizing:
- Currency – proprietary Money Tree Currency
- Credit Card with Magnetic Strip encoded with details of the “Cardholder”
- Bank Card with Magnetic Strip encoded with details of the “Cardholder”
- A series of 2-3 minute video which focus on key points
- Stock Market Simulation
Students can then carry on with the activities online, when they are at home. The Virtual City Portal is a domain in which its citizens (our students) engage in trade, forums, simulations and other exciting activities in which they will earn Money Tree Currency.
Each month, there will be an auction of items, and bids must be made in the form of Money Tree currency – giving the currency a true value.
Fast Track (Face To Face) Camps
Throughout our 2 day Boot Camp, we take kids through a series of key areas:
- Knowing the types of income and its source to help make wiser investment decisions
- Learning how to manage money and prioritizing expenditure
- Learning how to use the credit card only to create what we define as good debts
- Learning to use leverage to create wealth. Leverage using other people’s time, energy and money to make you money is also defined as the use of borrowed money to increase investing power
- Learning how to manage risk and not avoid it
- Differences between why and where to ’save’ money and why and where you ‘invest’ your money
Our Methodology
Teaching kids through a classroom format has its limitations. Kids, as with young adults, learn best through personal experience.
By providing an environment where play cash and credit cards are available and everything has to be paid for (including credit card interest), we simulate conditions which are closest to reality, giving them a first hand feel of the financial pitfalls that exist in our world.
We emphasise on the need to plan their financial future NOW, and that Discipline, Diligence and Determination will lead to a brighter financial future.
E- Learning Courses
Having an establish content developer as our parent company, provides with the key advantage of creating e-content that educates as well as excites.
The e-learning courses serves 3 functions:
- To provide participants of our Face to Face seminars with a follow up programme that will refresh and develop what they had learnt at our camps
- To provide kids of a younger age with a means of preparing themselves prior to promoting themselves into our more senior camps
- To serve as part of the main syllabus for our examination to qualify individuals into our Young Entrepreneurs Startup (Y.E.S) Programme
Our Online Portal - Virtual City
Our portal will enable our students and graduates alike to stay in touch with developments, events and new programmes that are either initiated or run by us. Among the features we will offer include:

Another supporting feature would be our SMS portal, which would provide the following:
