Course Description/Outline/Objectives: 

JA BizTown is a community unlike any other; one where kids take charge by running businesses, earning paychecks, voting in elections and donating to philanthropy. This unique, hands-on program engages students in the roles of workers and consumers in a series of classroom lessons that culminates in a visit to the fully-interactive simulated town in Nashville. Students learn entrepreneurial and personal finance skills while they work and shop in their own vibrant community. Through this experiential learning process, students develop a strong understanding of the relationship between what they learn in school and their successful participation in our global economy.

The end of the semester will culminate in a trip to JA BizTown in Nashville. Date to be announced.

Recommended Grade Level: 5th-8th grades
