Capital One / Junior Achievement
FINANCE PARK
Capital One/Junior Achievement Finance Park is one of the most
innovative and effective financial education programs available.
Our community is fortunate to host Capital One/Junior Achievement
Finance Park Finance Park once again in 2010. Numerous area schools
are participating this year, and we have a packed schedule from
January through the end of February while the facility is set up in
the New Orleans JA Building. The program then goes on the road to
Slidell for the month of March, where it will serve several St.
Tammany Parish schools. Over 2,700 students will build their
understanding of personal finance and adult responsibilities this
semester through this one of a kind experiential learning program!
JA Biz Town
JA
BizTown is a multi-disciplinary curriculum and hands-on education
experience for 5th & 6th grade students. After completing lessons
on free enterprise, citizenship, financial literacy, and business
management that have been incorporated into the core curricula of
math, language arts and social studies for Grade Level Expectations,
students participate in a day-long site simulation at JA’s own “kid
city” – JA BizTown. At JA BizTown, students run their own
businesses – and the whole show. JA BizTown simulations will begin
again in April and will reach more than 1,300 students in the
2009/2010 school year!
