National Standards for Personal Financial Education

This PDF outlines six key topics for personal financial education, tailored for students from elementary to high school. Each topic is carefully chosen to help students understand and manage money better as they grow. The information is presented in a way that fits different grade levels from 4-12, helping students build on what they know as they move up in school. This makes it easier for students to handle more complex financial decisions as they get older.
