1 Semester / ½ Elective Credit
Requirements: Must have completed the Financial Literacy course.
This advanced course builds off the principles in Financial Literacy and invites students to step beyond the basics and dive deeper into the dynamic world of investing. Students will explore how markets move, study real-world trends, and learn to make investment decisions using the power of compound interest and long-term thinking. Through hands-on stock market simulations, students will practice building diversified portfolios and tracking performance over time to uncover patterns and strategies used by successful investors. Along the way, students will design their own investment scenarios, applying lessons in risk, return, and strategy to build confidence as independent investors. By the end of the course, they will not only understand how to read the markets—they’ll be equipped to take the lead in managing their own financial future.
