About Me

---

Hi, I’m Adam Scott.

For more than 15 years, I taught AP Economics, Government, and U.S. History in the classroom. I loved showing students how the big ideas of money, politics, and culture connect to real life. But over time, I saw a hard truth: the system was failing them. It taught students to “play by the rules” of degrees and tests, but rarely gave them the tools to think clearly about reality, build businesses, or navigate the modern economy with confidence.

That’s what led me here.

Since leaving the traditional classroom, I’ve built several education businesses and taught more than 5,000 students in different capacities — from financial literacy and stock market camps to history, philosophy, and beyond. Along the way, I’ve seen that what families really want is more than test prep or worksheets. They want lasting skills, rooted in truth and reason, that prepare their kids for life.

This work isn’t just professional — it’s personal. I’m a husband and a father, and I know firsthand the challenges today’s kids face. They’re growing up in a world of constant change: technology reshaping the economy, cultural voices pulling them in every direction, and schools that too often substitute ideology or moral relativism for clear thinking. My mission is to help as many students and families as I can navigate that world with clarity, confidence, and capability.

What drives me?

• A belief that education should prepare students for life, not just tests.
   
• A passion for personal finance — giving kids a head start in financial independence.
   
• A love of history and philosophy — the stories and ideas that shape how we see the world.
   
• Faith and family — the foundation for everything I do.
   

Through Adam Scott Education, you’ll find courses, self-paced programs, and YouTube content that bring these ideas to life. Whether your student is mastering money skills, exploring investing, or connecting with timeless history and philosophy, my goal is the same: to give your family tools that endure long after the class is done.

Thank you for stopping by — I look forward to being part of your student’s journey.

— Adam
