Twelfth Grade

Twelfth Grade is split into two semester-long courses, Participation in Government and Economics. Participation in Government aims to provide students with opportunities to become engaged in the political process by acquiring the knowledge and practicing the skills necessary for active citizenship. The Economics curriculum leverages case studies and other problem-based learning methodologies to engage students in deep explorations—over three units—of core topics in personal finance, the broad forces that shape individuals’ experiences across markets, and how economists or others use indicators to make claims. Each unit culminates in an assessment designed to elicit thoughtful, creative, and critical engagement with economics content, concepts, and ways of thinking.
