In the 3rd Grade Economy unit, students explore Collegiate as a dynamic economic system. They embark on campus visits to departments and divisions, discovering how different areas contribute to the successful operation of our School. By interviewing administration, faculty, and staff, they learn how resources flow through the School and make meaningful connections about how Collegiate functions as a micro-economy. This process sparks curiosity about the jobs and relationships that sustain our community.

The 5th Grade’s Stock Market Game mimics real-world economics as students use an online program to make connections between math, business, economics, and social studies while focusing on the importance of long-term saving and investing.

The Darr-Davis Endowment Fund was established by Mr. and Mrs. J.Harwood Cochrane in memory of Susan Darr and Catherine Davis. The fund serves as an endowment with the investments directed by students, and the income used to fund student activities through a student-led grant allocation process. The goals of the Darr-Davis Investment Club are to increase the amount of money in the Darr-Davis fund and fairly distribute the money between non-athletic and non-social clubs.
