Ashton is committed to engaging students in deeper and transformative learning though Expeditionary Learning (EL) experiences. This year the pilot program began with the Seniors deep diving into the world of the Stock Exchange.
Throughout this project, students learned about what it means to be a biblical steward, how to make smart investments, and the importance of investing. This culminated with a presentations to the 11th graders, parents, and staff where the Seniors shared their learning experiences.
The presentation took place after students completed a 10 week program called the Stock Market Game, which is an online stock market simulator that is synced to two brokerages in the United States: NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange. Each group was given $100,000 virtual USD to trade and invest, with the goal of earning that greatest amount of return on investment.
We are excited about how this learning experience will enrich our student’s education today and in preparation for life beyond high school.
