Financial Literacy

Students who develop a strong financial literacy are empowered to access available resources and develop sound decision-making skills to responsibly and effectively manage their personal finances in an ever-changing world.

Pursuant to Indiana Code (IC) 20-30-5-19 (2023), each school corporation, charter school, and state-accredited non-public school must include instruction concerning personal financial responsibility in its high school curriculum. The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) provides guidance to support the implementation of this course requirement for students in grades eight through 12, beginning with the 2028 cohort. Review the High School Personal Financial Responsibility Course Implementation Memo for more details.

The 2024 Financial Literacy Standards Correlation Guide illustrates changes and any correlations between the 2011 Indiana Academic Standards (IAS) for Financial Literacy and the competencies of the Next Level Programs of Study (NLPS) course 4540 Personal Financial Responsibility approved to satisfy the above-mentioned course requirement for students.
