How to get involved in JA Finance Park
Available visit dates are the determining factor for when you should start and finish the JA Finance Park classroom curriculum. High school personal finance classes can implement the visit to JA Finance Park as a stand-alone experience.
Step 1: Pick and book a date for your students' experience at A.G. Edwards JA Finance Park. We can accommodate about 150 students on a visit day.
- Use our online calendar to find a date for your students' A.G. Edwards JA Finance Park experience. (NOTE: If you have fewer than 50 students, please select a date with another school with low enrollment, if possible.)
- Complete the Online Enrollment Form
- Or complete the hard-copy Enrollment Form and fax (636-728-0708) or e-mail (cbohlen@jastl.org).
Step 2: If teaching the JA Finance Park curriculum, complete the online teacher training about 5-6 weeks before the visit date. There are two training sessions. Click here to access the training links.
- If you experience difficulties with online training, contact us (cbohlen@jastl.org) to arrange your teacher training. Training is required in order to get everything out of the curriculum and visit day experience.
- JA provides all curriculum materials after you have enrolled.
- Begin teaching the curriculum about four weeks before the visit.
Step 3: Prepare for your students' visit to A.G. Edwards JA Finance Park by recruiting parent volunteers, scheduling buses, and handling other logistical matters. Use the Curriculum & Visit Materials page to help you plan.
