Which states' requirements does this meet?
All fifty. The Crescara//Project's curriculum has been checked against every state's personal finance education standards and meets or exceeds each one. Seven states, Utah, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, New York, North Carolina, and Virginia, require economics content bundled with personal finance rather than personal finance alone, and The Crescara//Project includes a dedicated Economics companion unit to meet that requirement too. California was first: AB 2927 requires every public high school there to offer a personal finance course by 2027 to 2028, and a complete version is ready for California schools today. Schools that adopt it now will be ahead of their own state's mandate when it takes effect.
What does it cost for a school to adopt this?
How long is the course?
The Crescara//Project is a full-year course, designed for senior year. Three units, 27 chapters, covering every financial topic a student needs before graduation. It is not a semester course, a unit add-on, or a one-day program.
Does the teacher need to be a financial expert?
No financial background is required. Every teacher gets access to a full instructor primer alongside the student workbook, plus a dedicated training designed to build real confidence in the material. We want every facilitator to feel prepared, not just pointed at a platform. We teach the curriculum. You teach the students.
What technology does a school need?
Any device with a browser. Chromebook, tablet, laptop, phone. No app download, no special software, no IT setup required. If a student can open a browser, they can access the curriculum.
How is student data protected?
Student privacy and data security are the single most important design requirement of this platform. Student financial reflections and personal data are protected with purpose-built security architecture. The funded version of the platform will meet or exceed all applicable student data privacy laws, including FERPA and COPPA. This is not an afterthought. It is the foundation.
How is this different from EverFi or NGPF?
EverFi offers supplemental modules, not a full course. NGPF provides resources that teachers assemble into lessons themselves. Neither hands a district a finished, sequenced, ready-to-teach curriculum. The Crescara//Project does, and it includes an interactive consequence-based learning tool that doesn't exist anywhere else in financial education.
Who built this, and why?
This curriculum was built by a founder with a Master's in Financial Management and years inside the financial industry at Prudential and Citadel, who also lived the exact cycle of financial exclusion this curriculum is designed to break. Not written by committee. Not designed from a textbook. Written from experience, built with rigor, and finished before asking for a single dollar.
When will the full platform be available?
