Is this worth one full high school credit?
I combined it with Dave Ramsey’s Personal Finance High School course for a credit I called “ Personal Finance and Economics”. I personally felt that LOF Financial Choices wasn’t enough for a full credit. But it’s your school, your student. In most states that determination is up to you. With lots of discussions and fleshing out you could call it a credit.

Semester long??
There are 34, six-page lessons so the course would most likely be used for a semester course although you could extend it over a full year.
