At Foxcroft, Investing With Real Money

The Foxcroft School Investment Club uses real money: $1,000! The students and faculty advisor meet to decide how best to invest the money, with any positive return going to the club. A formal learning component, taught by the school's business manger, includes an understanding of basic investment terminology, how to research investment opportunities, national and world markets, money management and budgeting. The investments are uploaded onto the school website so the school community can monitor gains/losses. In addition, Foxcroft offers a general economics course and AP Macroeconomics.
