JA BizTown combines in-class learning with a day-long visit to a simulated town. This popular learning experience allows elementary school students to operate banks, manage restaurants, write checks and vote for mayor. Students are able to connect the dots between what they learn in school and the real world. Class time includes on-site simulation at Junior Achievement of Central Indiana. Students may participate more than one year.

Students will be able to:

  • Discuss the roles they play as citizens, workers, and consumers in their community and relate those roles to the free enterprise system.

  • Discuss the importance of citizen rights and responsibilities in a community.

  • Demonstrate a basic understanding of the free enterprise system.

  • Build money management skills through a practical knowledge of economic concepts and banking practices.

  • Develop an understanding of basic business practices and responsibilities.

  • Display the soft skills necessary for successful participation in the world of work.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • All students are welcome to share lunch from 12-1, there is also the opportunity to register as the “SNACK ATTACK” entrepreneur and sell snacks or treats during this time.

  • Unless noted, all classes are drop off at Westfield Washington Public Library and do not require parent participation. Review the rules of being at the library with your student before classes begin.

  • All classes are academically rigorous, teams focused, and require a high level of independence. We do our best to accommodate learning needs, however large classes do not provide direct 1-1 support for students. Your careful consideration of class requirements and the environment before enrolling ensures a safe and positive experience for everyone. All participants will be evaluated on the first day to ensure they are academically prepared for the group learning environment.

  • Parents may request students to exit the building alone for pickup however, instructors will not be held responsible for missing students under these circumstances. Unless otherwise notified, instructors request students to stay in or near the classroom until a parent arrives. They are not allowed to roam around the library unsupervised and instructors may not leave until all students are picked up.

In the first event a student requests to leave class, is verbally or physically aggressive, or demonstrates violent behavior, a guardian will be immediately contacted for pick-up and the student will be unenrolled from class without a refund.
