Every aspect of PFinLab is designed to be customized to work with your existing classes, or use our pre-built course outlines with customizable lesson plans to launch a new class from scratch!

Students manage their long-term budget and/or stock game portfolio over the entire duration of their class, reinforcing long-term consequences for every action in an environment controlled by the teacher. The games are enhanced with our 300+ lesson curriculum library, so teachers mix and match lessons with the games for a new experience every class period, uniquely tailored for your class!
