QUIZ : Is Your Teen Ready for the Real World?
(1 minute that could change how you see your teen’s education)
This quiz isn’t about grades or GPAs.
And this is for your use and assessment only (the questions are not clickable and I am not collecting this data).
It’s about whether your teen is truly ready for adulthood ~ the kind of adulthood where they need to think clearly, adapt quickly, and lead wisely.
Some questions may surprise you. That’s intentional.
Let’s find out where your teen is strong… and where the hidden gaps might be.

What do you see?
Is your teen is on track to becoming one of the most capable, clear-thinking adults of their generation? Keep building on this and don’t settle for shallow, standardized (or busy-looking) curriculum when they could be mastering the next layer of real-world wisdom.
Is your teen bright and capable? ... Yet, you just saw how many urgent, real-world skills aren’t in their current learning plan. These gaps don’t close by accident, they close with intention.
This quiz wasn’t meant to make anyone feel bad. It’s meant to open your eyes. Most parents haven’t been exposed to these topics themselves, so they don’t think to teach them. The good news: with the right nine months, your teen can catch up fast.
The Real Cost of Playing Small
This isn’t just about signing your teen up for another class. It’s about deciding whether they will spend the next nine months checking boxes… or climbing higher than most adults ever will.
In Full Spectrum, we have unlearning to do ~ shaking loose the comfortable myths and habits that make people passive. We have waterfalls to summit (that’s kind of a recurring theme here)... challenges that build the kind of grit and clarity no textbook can teach. We have mysteries to solve! ~ Ones that demand both logic and intuition. And we have to give ourselves an equal footing in the current social strata, so your teen is never left underfoot, trodden down, or quietly suppressed by forces they don’t even see.
Micro-classes and hobby schools can be cute, social, and even skill-building… and are totally wonderful and necessary…but they rarely touch the roots of power, knowledge, and resilience. My reason for mentioning it is this: if you don't prioritize their intellectual growth now, you may not be able to foster the change you know that this world needs. If you’ve never been exposed to these deeper truths, you won’t realize you’ve been missing them. That’s why so many smart parents unintentionally hold their teens back: they choose safe, shallow options when the world is demanding depth, courage, and mastery.
The course requires an investment of roughly $2200 for a 9~month accelerated path to self-empowerment and truth-discernment. This might sound like a lot ~ until you compare it to the cost of sending a young adult into the world naive to the forces shaping it. This isn’t just tuition. It’s a bridge from where your teen is now… to the kind of person they’ll thank you for helping them become.
When I first calculated the total value, it came to about $2,200 :
$2,000 for the full 9-month hosted course with weekly live calls +
$200 for a separate, hand-picked reading list of outside works that deepen and complement what we cover. These are rare and often overlooked classics ~ like The Secret of Light by Walter Russell or Living Water by Olaf Alexandersson ~ books your entire family will reference for life.
Instead of rolling that reading list into the course cost, I kept the course at $2,000 and let you decide when to invest in the companion books. My Full Spectrum parents grab them right away so their teen can read alongside the course; others collect them over time. Either way, you’re walking into a $2,200 value for the $2,000 course price ~ and the rest is a library that will outlast any online platform.
It’s easy to get swept up in the buffet of micro-school offerings ~ low-cost, busy-bee activities that let you “throw one of each in the cart.” A robotics workshop here, a Spanish class there, maybe some art or coding for good measure. It feels productive, it’s fun, and it scratches the social itch. But here’s the truth: none of it replaces the 9-month accelerated masterclass every teen should have before they turn 18.
Full Spectrum Course for Teens is where they gain the intellectual coherence, historical context, and real-world skills to step into adulthood with clarity and confidence. The micro-school menu will still be there later ~ but this window, with this course, may not.
Micro-schools are the cupcake shop ~ sweet, small, and fun.
Full Spectrum is the rainbow leading to gold, where your teen learns the skills to stay healthy, wealthy, and free for life.
Micro-schools are the buffet ~ accessible and informal... while
...Full Spectrum is the 9~Month Masterclass ~ the essentials needed very much, right now.
