Meet Your State's Financial Literacy Mandate, Without the Heavy Lift

The Personal Finance Course Requirement Is Here

A large and growing number of U.S. states now require a standalone personal finance course for high school graduation, and more adopt the financial literacy graduation requirement every year. For districts, that often means standing up a brand-new course on a tight timeline, with limited staff and budget. Stickball makes it simple — a turnkey, standards-aligned, simulation-based personal finance curriculum that helps you meet financial literacy standards quickly.

Why Districts Choose Stickball to Meet the Mandate

• Standards-aligned out of the box, so you can map directly to your state's requirements.
• Simulation-based learning that lets students practice real money decisions.
• Turnkey and teacher-friendly, with ready-to-use lessons for any instructor.
• Fast to deploy, so you can launch in time for the next term.
• Accessible, mobile-friendly, and multilingual, meeting the needs of every learner.

Built for the Standards You're Accountable To

Whether your state requires a full-semester course or embedded coursework, Stickball aligns to the personal finance course requirement and the competencies behind it: budgeting, saving, credit, debt, banking, paying for college, and more. Because lessons are simulation-based, students make the decisions and see the outcomes — which is exactly what makes financial education stick.
