Students from Classical Academy's Home Economics and Life Skills class recently achieved an impressive 2nd place finish in the SIFMA Foundation's Stock Market Game™. This nationwide competition provides students with a hands-on opportunity to explore real-world investing by managing a simulated $100,000 portfolio.

Throughout the spring simulation, students applied critical thinking and economic decision-making skills to track market trends, analyze performance, and make informed investment choices. The experience offered practical insight into personal finance and the fundamentals of investing. Annabelle Byler led the student team, whose top-performing portfolio stood out among hundreds of participants.

"This achievement demonstrates the incredible potential of our students when they're given real-world challenges to solve," said Kurtis Indorf, CEO of The Classical Academies. "We're proud of their hard work and grateful for the educators who make these learning experiences possible." To learn more about the Stock Market Game™, visit here. SIFMA Foundation website.
