Education that Empowers

Imagine a generation of students empowered with the competencies and confidence to create their desired future. JA learning experiences go beyond the classroom to inspire future entrepreneurs, foster financial literacy and provide a foundation for career success.

JA Finance Park

JA Finance Park is a middle school program that begins with in-class learning and culminates with a day-long visit to a realistic on-site simulation community where students are assigned a random life experience. Each student takes on a specific career, education, family size, credit score and student debt. They create and manage a monthly budget and are faced with making important financial decisions related to income, expenses, savings and credit through various life stages.

3DE by JA

This immersive experience helps students develop competencies and strengthen core academic skills through a guided exploration of authentic, real-world business case challenges.
