Homeschool Days at JA Finance Park and JA BizTown. Developed to Educate. Designed to Inspire.Imagine a generation of students armed with the confidence and understanding to take control of their futures and be equipped to achieve their dreams.The JA Homeschool Day is an engaging, hands-on experience that helps students ages 10-15 to develop an understanding of basic business principles and the world of work ahead. They’ll learn first-hand what it means to be a citizen of a community, how to get a job, and how to make wise financial decisions to achieve the future they want for themselves and their families. This spring, your child will have the opportunity to join the 90,000 students a year who participate in this immersive programming. The simulation runs from 10:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. at the Gwinnett Facility.WHAT IS JA BIZTOWN?After in-class curriculum around the circular flow of the economy and what it means to be a citizen, students have a job within one of the many storefronts in JA BizTown, and they learn what it’s like to work that job. Students earn (and spend!) a paycheck, pay taxes, vote for their elected officials for the day, and ultimately work with their peers towards a common goal of paying back their start-up loan. (Ages 10-12) WHAT IS JA FINANCE PARK?After in-class lessons on subjects like budgeting and credit scores, students are assigned a random ‘life situation’ with an education level, salary, and family scenario. They visit storefronts representing the major line items in a budget – housing, utilities, food, etc. – and work towards providing for themselves and their families within their assigned means. (Ages 13-15)
