SELF-directed learning
All Junior Achievement (JA) programs are closely aligned with the Alberta curriculum and empower students with essential skills in financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship. Our self-directed learning options let students explore these topics independently through interactive, online programs hosted on JA Campus—a national, secure learning platform. When you choose a program from the options below, you’ll be redirected to our national site, where you’ll create a free account with a username and password before starting your chosen course.

FULL LEARNING MODULES
Full modules offer a comprehensive, start-to-finish learning experience. These programs guide students through real-world scenarios, case studies, and practical activities—helping them apply what they learn in a meaningful way. Perfect for classroom integration or independent study, full modules dive deep into topics such as budgeting and saving, starting a business, career planning, and responsible decision-making.
BITE-SIZED LEARNING MODULES
Bite-sized modules provide quick, focused learning experiences designed to be completed in under an hour—ideal for sparking curiosity, reinforcing classroom lessons, or introducing key concepts. These shorter activities help students explore topics like goal setting, workplace skills, digital safety, and money basics in a fun, interactive way. Whether used as a warm-up, an at-home activity, or a supplement to larger projects, bite-sized learning offers flexibility while still delivering the high-quality, real-world skill building JA is known for.
