  • JA Financial Capability® 2, part of the JA High School Experience® courses, is a one-semester, teacher-led course in which high school students examine financial capabilities from a business perspective, focusing on employee benefits, ethics, business investment, and international business operations. Volunteers engage with students through a variety of activities that may include subject- matter guest speaking, coaching, or advising for case study and project course work.

    Following completion of this course, students will be able to:

  • Learn the necessary concepts applicable to state and national educational standards.

  • Apply these standards-based concepts to the real world.

  • Synthesize elective concepts through cumulative, tangible deliverables (projects).

  • Analyze a business situation or principle through the use of a case study.

  • Demonstrate the skills necessary for future career pathway success.

    JA Financial Capability 2 is part of the JA Financial Literacy Pathway. The course is a blended model that includes teacher-led content, volunteer-led opportunities, and self-guided content to support flexible implementation options. JA Financial Capability 2 is available in classroom-based or remote live implementation. Robust support materials are available for teachers, including a pacing guide for semester-long implementation.
