Junior Achievement's unique delivery system provides the training, materials, and support necessary to bolster the chances for student success all while teaching sound economic principles and reinforcing the educator's class cirricula.

JA provides K-12 programs to public, private, alternative as well as charter schools throughout the Upper Midwest. All of JA programs are independently evaluated and correlated to MN, ND and WI graduation standards.

Classroom Programs - JA's unique approach allows volunteers from the community to deliver our cirriculum (during the school day) while sharing their experiences with students. Embodying the heart of JA, our classroom volunteers transform the key concepts of our lessons into a message that inspires and empowers students to believe in themselves, showing them they can make a difference in the world.

JA BizTown - JA BizTown is a kid-sized city (located in Maplewood, MN) where students in 4-6th grade have an opportunity to be both a consumer and producer for a day.

This program can be delivered online or in our kid-size city learning lab.
