We are excited to announce adjustments to our curriculum that will make it much easier and more intuitive to navigate. Learn why we're getting rid of lesson numbers.

What’s Changing?

• We are removing all references to unit and lesson numbers from our documents. For example, "2.1 Checking Accounts" will simply be "Checking Accounts." 
• The top of each lesson guide will now indicate where the lesson falls in the sequence for each of the courses it is a part of.

Why Are We Making This Change?

Over the past two years, we have updated and aligned our three high school personal finance courses. This means that the same lesson might be used across multiple courses but not necessarily in the same spot in the lesson sequence. For example, a lesson could be first in the Trimester Course, second in the Semester Course, and third in the Full-Year Course. The previous numbering system no longer aligns with our revamped courses, so we've made these changes to ensure a clearer, more straightforward experience.
