Bring JA to your classroom! Junior Achievement’s K-12 curriculum is intentionally designed to connect classroom learning with real-world experiences at every stage of a student’s journey. Each program is selected for its proven effectiveness, engagement, and adaptability to various learning needs, while building critical skills in financial literacy, career readiness, and entrepreneurial thinking.
Note: Both physical and digital kits are available for elementary school. For grades K-5, JA staff recommend physical kits for a more hands-on experience.
Cost:
Physical Kits: $49 per class
Digital Kits: $10 per class
Career Fair Toolkit: $5 per class
