The BCYC Immersion economics program for high school students is intended to introduce teens to the fundamental concepts of economics and Catholic Social Teaching. We aim to use economic reasoning to rationally address basic economic questions. The course is meant to assist students in using critical thinking skills to approach problems. Applications and examples will often accompany the content, and class participation will also be a part of the course.
