School of Economics is a non-profit organization focused on elementary education, aiming to teach basic marketplace concepts and expose young students to business-related careers through hands-on, reality-based experiences. Based in Blue Springs, Missouri, the organization was founded in 1994 through collaboration with the local school district, city, and businesses to address an identified need for economics education among elementary-aged children. The initiative positions itself within the education sector, specifically at the intersection of economics and experiential learning, serving schools and communities by delivering programs designed to build foundational understanding of economic concepts. With a regional presence and a mission to prepare youth for future economic literacy, the organization operates as a small to mid-sized nonprofit dedicated to curriculum-based learning experiences. A recent development includes continued collaboration with higher education and other institutions to broaden educational partnerships and expand its program reach, reflecting ongoing efforts to enhance its offerings and impact.
