Within Montgomery County Public Schools, JA programs are taught as an integrated component of third and seventh grade social studies courses and several high school elective courses. Through this partnership, every MCPS student will have access to JA programs at least two times from Kindergarten through twelfth grade.
The below programs were selected by Junior Achievement and MCPS for their strong relevance in the MCPS classroom and connections to teachers' course objectives. Each program is scheduled to take place during its corresponding MCPS curriculum unit, making the connection between classroom learning and the “real world” even more powerful for students.

JA Company Program – high school Entrepreneurship course
The JA Company Program was selected as an experiential learning component to the MCPS Entrepreneurship course. Teachers and volunteers will work together to consult students running a fully student-operated business enterprise.
JA Personal Finance – high school Personal Finance with Software Applications course
The JA Personal Finance program was selected as an enhancement to the year-long MCPS Personal Finance with Software Applications course, which is currently in development. Teachers and volunteers will work together to enhance students' lifelong personal finance skills.
