The North Dakota Financial Literacy Content Standards provide educational guidelines for school and district curriculum development. They are designed to equip learners with essential knowledge and skills to manage their finances as they transition into adulthood. The standards emphasize practical skills such as budgeting, money management, saving, investing, credit and debt management, banking and financial services, taxation and income, consumer skills and smart spending, insurance, risk management, college and career financial planning, retirement planning, entrepreneurship, and economic concepts.
Schools and districts are encouraged to become familiar with these new standards and should review and align local curriculum and instructional materials to implement them fully in 2026-2027.
