Frequently Asked Questions

What ages is the Academy designed for?

The Tuttle Twins Academy is specifically designed for ages 12-18. The content uses engaging storytelling and real-world examples that resonate with teens while teaching complex economic and civic concepts. Younger students (ages 5-11) should start with our illustrated book series, which we can recommend based on your child's reading level.

Is this too political or biased?

We're transparent: we teach principles of liberty, free markets, and personal responsibility from a libertarian/classical liberal perspective. However, we focus on developing critical thinking skills—teaching students to question ALL authority (including us!) and form their own reasoned conclusions. We're not telling kids what to think; we're giving them tools to think for themselves. Many families appreciate that we don't pretend to be "neutral" while actually promoting other viewpoints.

How does this work with homeschooling?

The Academy works perfectly as a social studies/civics/economics curriculum component for homeschoolers. Lessons are self-paced, include discussion questions and activities, and cover topics many homeschool curricula skip. Many families use it for ages 12+ while using our illustrated books for younger children (ages 5-11).

Can my teen in public/private school still benefit?

Absolutely! Many families use the Academy to supplement traditional schooling, providing perspectives and topics their teens aren't getting elsewhere. It's perfect for after-school learning and creates great opportunities for family discussions about current events and real-world applications.

What if my teen doesn't engage with it?

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. That said, our story-based approach achieves 93% retention rates (vs. 13% for traditional textbooks), and most families report their teens actively asking for more lessons. We also offer a free first lesson so you can try before committing.

How is lifetime access different from annual?

Lifetime access is a one-time payment of $559 that gives you unlimited access forever to all current AND future courses we create. Annual access is $299/year and renews each year. If you plan to use the Academy for more than 2 years or have multiple teens, lifetime is the better value. Plus, all future courses we add are included free with lifetime access.
