To every Indiana high school educator reading this: The Personal Financial Responsibility graduation requirement for the Class of 2028 is real. It's coming. And the schools that prepare now will be the ones who serve their students best. JA Financial Literacy for Indiana is a proven, complete solution — with curriculum, training, and support built right in.

Our Fall 2025 cohort showed a 62% average increase in financial understanding across all topics. That's real impact, in a real classroom, with real students. You don't have to build this from scratch. We've already done that — for you. Let's bring this to your students. Let's start now.
