Our K-12 Learning Experiences

Grade Levels

Junior Achievement learning experiences are designed to be appropriate for all grade levels. Whether learning about "wants" and "needs" in elementary school or how to launch a global startup in 12th grade, students will have a powerful learning experience.

Focus Area

For most of us, managing money, having an occupation, and interacting with business will be a reality. JA learning experiences deliver lessons in financial literacy, work and career readiness, and entrepreneurship so that students will be better prepared for life outside the classroom.

Resource Types

Lesson plans, study guides, worksheets, digital assets, games, videos, and other engaging content help educators and volunteers engage students with JA learning experiences.

Request A Presenter To Teach Curriculum

Junior Achievement lessons are delivered by volunteers from the community. These presenters are prepared by JA to facilitate engaging learning activities that focus on financial literacy, work and career readiness, and entrepreneurship. This results in an enriched learning experience that helps students make the connection between what they learn in school and the world outside the classroom.
