Junior Achievement programs give young people practical,engaging,and
informative lessons that educate them about business and
economics and help prepare them for fulfilling professional
careers. Our programs complement the class curricula and
are easily integrated into the lesson plans of each grade
level.
Each of the Junior Achievement programs
is designed to communicate effectively to a particular age
group and introduce students to important economic concepts
that will ultimately enhance their understanding of the
world around them. From kindergarten through twelfth grade,
students will learn lessons ranging from improving presentation
skills to advanced applied economics.

how you can get involved, and make sure to look over the
results we've had with our students.
The Junior Achievement Elementary
School Program includes seven grade-specific curricula
for kindergarten through sixth-grade students. Junior Achievement's
program teaches elementary school students the basic concepts
of business and economics and shows children how education
is relevant to the workplace. The sequential lessons build
on studies from each preceding grade and prepare students
for secondary school and lifelong learning.
The seven program themes also teach students
that people assume roles as individuals, consumers, and
workers in an expanding cultural environment that extends
from the self and family to global relations.
