North Carolina signed HB 924 in 2022, requiring a Personal Finance and Financial Planning course for all public high school students, starting with the graduating class of 2024. The course covers personal finance, financial planning, economics, and consumer skills, with a focus on practical knowledge students can use after graduation.
North Carolina's requirement is already fully in effect. Schools need a curriculum that delivers real results, not just checkbox compliance. The Crescara//Project is the most comprehensive personal finance curriculum available: 27 chapters, interactive tools, and built-in habit reinforcement across every content area NC requires.
HB 924 sets the minimum. A checklist of topics is not a curriculum. The Crescara//Project sequences North Carolina's required content areas in the order students will actually encounter them in life, connects them to each other, and builds habits through repetition, not review sheets.
You can't teach investing without first teaching budgeting. You can't teach credit without first teaching income. The sequence is the curriculum.
North Carolina schools that connect now will be ahead of the requirement. Reach out at info@crescaraproject.org.
