As we celebrate Economic Education Month, Ramsey Education is transforming the way high school students learn economics with the launch of “Foundations in Economics.”
This 11-chapter, 49-lesson curriculum is designed to make complex concepts visual, practical and easy to understand. Unlike traditional coursework, this program brings economics to life through hands-on experience, thought-provoking videos and interactive digital lessons. The curriculum is crafted to promote critical thinking and strong financial and economic decision-making skills.
