Inlighti connects your classroom directly to real, publicly available filings from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Students read the same document analysts and investors read — and build the document literacy, data extraction, and critical reading skills that carry into a finance, business, or accounting career.
No invented numbers. Every figure, vocabulary word, and quiz question is grounded in the real filing.
39 states now require personal finance coursework for high school graduation — a number that keeps climbing every year. Inlighti gives teachers a ready-made way to meet that requirement with real, filing-grounded content.
Source: Council for Economic Education, 2026 Survey of the StatesFinance, business, and accounting pathways are built around one idea: work with the real thing, not a simulation. Inlighti is designed around that same principle, and around adoption across a full program or district.
Every Investigation is built from a real 10-K or 10-Q — the same primary-source material a CTE program is expected to use, not a fictional case study.
The Career Explorer introduces students to the real roles behind a filing — CFO, auditor, attorney, analyst — a natural fit for a program's career-exploration component.
One teacher account or a full department: every class gets its own Investigations, rosters, and results, so a program can roll it out section by section or all at once.
Because every Investigation is built from a real filing instead of a fictional case study, the skills students practice are the same ones the document was actually written to test.
Practice navigating a real, formally structured company document — the same kind of reading a filing is actually written for.
Find and work with real figures pulled straight from the filing, not numbers written to make a worksheet come out even.
Learn to tell a filing's factual disclosures apart from its persuasive, investor-facing language.
Investigate companies students already know — the brands whose products and services they buy and use every day.
