The global economy is a part and parcel of our everyday lives, but most students would have never been taught how to navigate the complexities of it

Exchange rates, stock markets and politics shape the world we live in and impact how we plan financially, but these topics are almost rarely talked about in schools.

Not another textbook course

Economics is often taught as theory divorced from reality, but Meridion ensures that concepts are anchored in current events and real decisions.

Japan Mexico Turkey United States China India Kazakhstan Brazil South Africa Brussels, EU Australia Nigeria Inequality Climate & Green Economy AI & Automation Singapore
Real-world anchoring Concepts are introduced through recent, concrete events, whether that is a Federal rate decision, a currency crisis or a trade war.
Discussion-first pedagogy Students are encouraged to take positions, defend them, and explain their reasoning, which builds both economic understanding and the ability to articulate it clearly.
Builds critical thinking and written expression Because every lesson uses real events and real concepts, students naturally develop the analytical habits that translate into stronger essay writing — useful for GP, IB Theory of Knowledge, Economics, and similar subjects.
1-on-1 sessions Every session is one-on-one, which enables us to curate the lesson for your child and move at the right pace.

Common questions

Who is the RealWorld Series designed for? +
The RealWorld Series is designed for anyone who wants a deep understanding of how the global economy works. No prior knowledge of economics is assumed or required.
Will this help with school subjects or exams? +
The RealWorld Series is not a exam-prep course — but students often find it directly useful for essay-based subjects that reward real-world knowledge and structured argumentation. This includes General Paper at A-Level, Theory of Knowledge (IB), Economics (A-Level, IB, AP), and similar subjects at polytechnics and international schools. Because the course is built around real examples and real concepts, it naturally develops the kind of critical thinking and analytical writing that these subjects demand.
How long does the full course take? +
Series 1 (Foundations) has eight chapters across twelve weekly lessons. Students can continue through the full seven-series track over time, at a pace that fits their schedule.
What is the Free Profile Assessment? +
A free, no-obligation assessment covering seven areas of real-world economics and finance. It takes about 15-20 minutes and places your result into one of four profiles, so you can see where your understanding stands right now. A full report is emailed to you at the end.
Do I need to take the assessment before enrolling? +
No — the assessment and enrolling are entirely independent. You're welcome to enrol directly without taking it, take it just out of curiosity, or take it first and enrol later. Either order works.
If I start with the trial, can I still get the 4 or 7-series discount later? +
Yes. The discount is available to you even after you had signed up and attended the trial lesson.
Are sessions 1-on-1 or in a group? +
Sessions are currently delivered 1-on-1, giving each student full, individual attention and a pace matched exactly to them.
Where are sessions held? +
All sessions are held online via video call.
How do I get started? +
Parents may sign their child up via the enrol button, whether it is a trial or for the packaged bundle. Students may also proceed to take the free profile assessment to ascertain their understanding of the global economy.
