Utah has joined a growing number of states offering PragerU educational resources, as the state’s Board of Education recently approved a new online financial literacy course for high school students, the conservative organization announced Wednesday.

“We are thrilled to serve families and teachers in Utah who wish to include our financial literacy learning resources in their lessons,” said Jill Simonian, PragerU Kids’ director of outreach and co-creator of the program.

Simonian emphasized the transparency of PragerU’s online materials, noting that the curriculum allows parents and teachers to “better connect and forge meaningful educational partnerships.” She added, “PragerU Kids’ financial literacy inclusion in Utah schools will be a much-needed game changer for students and families. Parents want to get back to basics and teach useful, practical skills that will serve students for a lifetime.”

The curriculum focuses on real-world financial concepts such as budgeting, saving, entrepreneurship, and personal responsibility—skills many parents feel are no longer adequately covered in traditional classrooms. The course draws from several PragerU Kids series, including Cash Course, How To, and The Hustle.

Students who achieve a score of 80 percent or higher on all modules may earn half a high school credit, which counts toward Utah’s graduation requirements. The program is free and entirely optional for families and schools statewide.

“Educating students about how money works in the real world, and how to responsibly manage it, serves to develop capable citizens and a more stable nation,” Simonian said. “Financial literacy is the grand unifier in educational standards; it benefits everyone.”

PragerU CEO Marissa Streit added that the initiative also increases parental involvement and transparency in K-12 education. “Parents want more visibility into what their children are learning, and students need more opportunities to learn practical skills including financial literacy,” Streit said. “We are pleased to partner with educators and families in Utah to provide transparent, accessible, and engaging resources that help prepare students for successful, fulfilling, and purposeful lives.”
