For schools & educators
Give students a better way to earn — and a reason to stay out of trouble.
Behaviour issues and “fast money” pressure are rising. Schola gives teens a safe, structured marketplace to earn real money by helping local families — building good habits, work ethic and employability instead of drifting toward risky choices.
The reality schools are seeing
“They want money, but don't see a safe path.”
Many teens talk openly about needing money, and some feel pushed toward:
- • Risky side hustles and online schemes
- • Peer-group pressure and anti-social behaviour
- • Cash-in-hand work with no protections
Schola channels that same drive into legitimate, supervised, community-based paid tasks that reward turning up, communicating well and doing the job properly.
Behaviour & wellbeing
Turn “at risk” energy into real responsibility.
When students have a positive way to earn, it reduces pressure to impress peers with risky behaviour. Schola rewards turning up on time, being respectful, communicating clearly and seeing tasks through — the same values you want to reinforce in school.
- • Gives restless students a constructive outlet
- • Shows that money comes from effort, not shortcuts or crime
- • Builds pride in being helpful, capable and trusted
Money & future pathways
Side income that actually teaches life skills.
Students earn doing tutoring, homework help, errands, tech support, yard work and more. Each completed task becomes evidence they can use for jobs, apprenticeships or further study.
- • Real work history with ratings and reviews
- • Experience talking to adults and managing expectations
- • Exposure to budgeting, savings and financial literacy
No new program to manage. Just a safe recommendation.
Schola runs independently of your timetable. You don't need to hire staff, create curriculum or supervise shifts. Schools simply point students (and families) toward Schola as a safe way to earn and grow.
Introduce Schola
Mention Schola in assemblies, wellbeing lessons, newsletters or parent nights as a trusted way for teens to earn safely.
Students & families sign up
They create accounts on Schola, browse tasks and make offers. Everything — chat, offers, completion — is handled in the app.
Wins come back to school
Students bring back confidence, stories of helping locals, and a growing sense of identity as reliable young adults.
What your students walk away with
From high achievers to students who feel “lost”, Schola gives every young person a way to prove something real — to themselves and to the adults around them.
Real work experience
Evidence they can communicate, turn up, follow instructions and complete tasks — perfect for resumes and references.
Better decision-making
A clear path to legal, safe income reduces the pull of crime, scams and antisocial behaviour for “quick cash”.
Confidence & purpose
Students see themselves as capable workers and helpers, not just “kids getting told off”. That shift changes everything.

Schola is built to support the work you're already doing in wellbeing, engagement and post-school pathways — without adding more to your plate.
