About this Event

JA Homeschool Day



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 aged 12-15 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.



The simulation runs from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at the Mike & Lynn Cottrell JA Discovery Center at North Georgia.


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 12-15)
