Financial Life Cycle Education Corp

As a not-for-profit organization that is passionate about financial literacy education, we created a high school course that embeds financial topics into a robust math course, Financial Life Cycle Mathematics. Our research shows that a math-based approach is the more effective way to teach financial literacy as it gives an in-depth, mathematically grounded understanding of personal finance topics. FiCycle is currently being used in 25 schools and is expanding. We have a diverse group of schools: public, chartered and private schools of varying size. Our teachers are dedicated math professionals who believe as we do that grounding financial literacy education in a robust math course will improve students confidence in math and in financial understanding. Our students are 1100 high school seniors spread across the country from a private school in the Bronx to an alternative public high school in California. Our students participate in a survey at the beginning and end of the course to help us improve the course and evaluate its impact.
