Stride has helped bring another national report to life, and once again it’s making news.
Back in 2023, we had the pleasure of working with Champlain College’s Center for Financial Literacy to design its 2023 National Report Card on State Efforts to Improve Financial Literacy in High Schools™—a comprehensive report analyzing how well each U.S. state teaches high school personal finance, thus preparing students for life ahead.
This year, we partnered with John Pelletier, Director of Financial Literacy at Champlain College, to produce the Center’s 2025 Interim Update report, Will Your State Be Left Behind?

According to the 2025 Interim Update, six more states have made personal finance a required course, adding to the already 23 states who earn a “Grade A” in financial education for the class of 2031 for a total of 29. This is an impressive positive trend for financial literacy across the U.S., and we were happy to help communicate this trend in a cleanly designed and engaging report.
