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 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.


The simulation runs from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at the JA Discovery Center of Gwinnett.
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)
