This course introduces students to the foundational principles of economics, equipping them with a clear understanding of how economic systems operate on a local, national, and global scale. Students will explore essential topics such as supply and demand, market structures, government roles, fiscal policies, and the fundamentals of personal finance. Emphasis will be placed on critical thinking and real-world applications, enabling students to engage with current economic issues and understand their implications. Through engaging activities and projects, students will learn to analyze and evaluate economic decisions from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
As a dual-enrollment course, students will have the opportunity to earn college credit while deepening their knowledge of economics. Integrating a Kingdom mindset, this course encourages students to approach economics with integrity, stewardship, and a heart for serving others. Biblical principles such as generosity, ethical decision-making, and the wise management of resources are woven throughout the curriculum, challenging students to consider how they can use economic knowledge to impact the world for Christ.
College Credit Enrollment Add-On
Equip 210 has partnered with Kairos Pacific University (KPU) to offer select high school courses for dual-enrollment college credit. If your student would like to earn 3 college credits toward an Associate’s Degree with KPU, they must also register for the College Credit Add-On course in addition to the regular high school class.
This add-on is purely administrative—it does not involve any extra assignments or additional work beyond the core course. Its sole purpose is to process enrollment through KPU so your student can receive official college credit upon successful completion.
The College Credit Add-On is a $300 separate payment to KPU
It must be selected in addition to the core class during registration
To opt in, simply add the "College Credit Add-On" to your cart when enrolling. Your student will remain enrolled in the main course whether or not you choose the college credit option.
This course is one of eight Equip 210 high school classes now eligible for dual-enrollment credit through KPU.
