Tennessee requires students to take Personal Finance class – finally TN is catching up to what FCA has been doing for years!

FCA has been requiring a personal finance class for our graduating seniors for a number of years. According to this article by David Carroll of WCRB TV the state is just now beginning to require this course for public school students. The state only requires a 9 week course however FCA requires a semester of personal finance and then a semester of economics.

Our personal finance class is being taught this year by our new Dean of Students Drew Robison who has a business degree from Rhodes College and utilizes an outstanding curriculum from Dave Ramsey (@DaveRamsey) and the Financial Peace folks. One of the best parts about that course is that Dave Ramsey’s company donated the complete curriculum (videos, textbooks, & workbooks) to FCA. Our students are learning sound financial principles from a Biblical model that makes great business sense.
