About FLC
Free, practical financial education — built by students.
Why FLC exists
Most people learn about money the hard way.
Students are expected to sign a lease, choose a student loan, read a paycheck, and start saving for retirement — often without ever being taught how any of it works.
FLC exists to close that gap. We believe financial education should be free, practical, and made for students — clear enough to understand on day one, and useful for decades after.
What we teach
Six areas every student should understand
- Money Fundamentals
- Credit & Debt
- Investing
- Understanding Businesses
- Entrepreneurship
- Money After High School
Who we serve
Students first — and the adults who support them
FLC Academy is designed for high school students, roughly ages 14–18. It's also useful for middle school students, parents, teachers, schools, and youth and community organizations.
