Economics Course

The Economics: Work and Prosperity course at Northgate Academy delves into the vital decisions societies face about the production, distribution, and consumption of goods, presenting a comprehensive understanding of economic principles. Through exploring concepts such as production, supply and demand, competition, inflation, and savings, the course elucidates how these elements interplay within the economy. It further examines the relationship between economic and personal freedom, promoting the values of free-enterprise capitalism and ethical financial stewardship. The curriculum, enriched with thought-provoking questions, chapter reviews, definitions of key terms, and a glossary, equips students with the knowledge to make informed financial decisions and understand the broader economic forces that shape our world.

Structured around the “Economics” textbook from A Beka, this course sets clear objectives to foster an understanding of the connections between economic principles and moral responsibility with money. By integrating theoretical knowledge with practical applications, students are encouraged to reflect on their economic choices and their implications on both a personal and societal level. Through written assignments, quizzes, and a final exam, learners demonstrate their comprehension of the course content, preparing them for responsible participation in the economy. Northgate Academy’s Economics course not only aims to educate students about economic theories and practices but also to instill a sense of fiscal responsibility and ethical consideration in financial matters.
