Dedicated Educators

    

Successful educational outcomes depend on the experience of teachers, and the strategies they use to transfer knowledge to their students. YES Academy is a learning institution with an unmatched pool of talented teachers who know how to use evidence-based strategies to help learners acquire the skills they need to prosper in life.


YES Academy was established in 2018, and has maintained a consistent number of talented educators who are committed to continuing education to ensure they have the latest knowledge and skills to offer the best learning experiences and outcomes to students. We seek to align individuals and/or companies that support financial education and economic success with the needs of their clients so that they can achieve successful outcomes.


Our prosperity team is passionate about the subjects they teach and bring this enthusiasm into their lessons. We are always looking for educational professionals active or retired to join our team if they are passionate about financial education and, and the idea of teaching children how to build wealth.


Our Manager/Esther Johnson has 30 years’ experience as a Real Estate Investor; 18 years in Stock Investments/Investor. She is a former Federal Housing Officer with 20 years of experience as an Executive Director (non-for-profit); Business Teacher for Miami Public Schools. She is very instrumental in obtaining federal, (millions of dollars) state, and local grants for social service programs.


Her family made much of their wealth through investing in real estate for more than 30 years. They accumulated enough capital to start building other projects including providing loans to projects that have significant social impact. 


Now, she is passionate about helping and impacting children and families learn financial literacy and to gain access to building wealth.

  

Commitment to Excellence


Our mission is to educate, empower and engage students to achieve, believe and excel to the highest inside and outside the classroom. We encourage self-learning and teach our students’ skills that help them acquire financial management skills that will help them live within their means while achieving their financial goals at the same time.


We are committed to teaching students how to develop a solid financial plan with a road map that shows them how to use it in making good choices that produce positive results today, tomorrow and our future.
