Economics and Everyday Life
Grades 9-12
Economics and Everyday Life is a six-week class designed to introduce high school students to the core principles of economics and how they apply to real-world situations. Through interactive discussions, activities, and case studies, students will gain a solid understanding of key economic concepts, such as supply and demand, opportunity cost, and incentives, and learn to make informed decisions as consumers and citizens. This course is ideal for students who want to develop their financial literacy and critical thinking skills in preparation for the real world, and who are interested in exposure to economics as a course of study as a potential emphasis in college.
