Educator Testimonials
We choose to take part in the JA Company Program because of the curriculum aligned lessons. Students are actively learning through the hands-on experience. Not only are they learning the objectives of the lessons, but the soft skills that are needed for their everyday lives.” Ashley Hawker, Maple River High School
JA Company Program gives my students the ability to learn through real-life experience. Instead of learning what decision businesses make to grow sales by just reading in a textbook, they get to make the decisions and see the outcome. The students are very engaged and excited about being in this class because of the active learning that takes place running a real business.” Kari Bluth, Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton High School
