Junior Achievement has several highly effective programs for middle grades and junior high school students that reinforce the value of education and teach students about the future economic benefits of staying in school. Students will be introduced to many economic concepts and useful facts about the working world.
The middle grades programs build on lessons the students learned in Junior Achievement's Elementary School Program and help teens make difficult decisions about how to best prepare for their educational and professional future. The programs supplement standard social studies curricula and develop communication skills that are essential to success in the business world.
