About JA Financial Literacy

JA Financial Literacy is a semester-long course for grades 9–12 that introduces essential financial concepts, empowering learners to make informed decisions about earning, spending, saving, investing, and managing credit. Using the inquiry-based 5E framework (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate) and real-world case studies, learners analyze financial scenarios, apply economic reasoning, and build confidence navigating real-world responsibilities. Throughout the course, learners document their work in FinanceFolio, a personal portfolio connecting course concepts to their own financial futures and culminating in a Case Challenge where they build and defend a personal financial plan.

Educators are supported with planning and facilitation guides, case study materials, and flexible implementation options, while districts and states benefit from a comprehensive, educator-led experience designed to meet the statewide financial literacy mandate.
