JA Programs
 The
purpose of Junior Achievement is to educate and inspire young people to value
free enterprise, business, and economics to improve the quality of their lives.
JA
educates by providing high-quality materials that guide the teacher and
volunteer through every step of the program activities.
JA
inspires by providing students with business volunteers who bring real-world
experience into the classroom. More importantly, these volunteers become
role models who encourage the students to stay in school and do their best.
The Elementary School Program
... to broaden a child's perspective.
The
Elementary Programs
are
designed to show students the relevance of an
education to the workplace as well as to prepare them for secondary school and
lifelong learning.
Kindergarten through 6th grade students learn concepts and
skills at each level that build on those taught in the preceding grades.
A volunteer from the community teaches each class.
The Middle School Program

school.
JA’s
Middle Grade Programs stress
the importance of an education and staying in school while introducing students
to economic concepts and information about the world of business.
 The
High School Program
... relates
economic concepts to
real-life situations.
The
High School Programs strive to
help students develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to become
