SCHOOLS

Taking business to the classroom

Since 1919, JA has helped young people recognize how their talents and abilities can create better lives for themselves and those around them.  JA’s sequential and integrated kindergarten through high school programs help students use information, apply basic skills, think critically, and solve complex problems.

JA programs help young people develop the knowledge, skills, and personal characteristics that will prepare them for the world of work.

Bottom line, JA provides young people with the tools for success – in school, in business, in life!

JA programs in Kenya are currently running in 25 secondary schools in Nairobi, 8 in Mombasa and 5 in Kapsabet.  One out-of-school program was also held in Nairobi.

The Government of Kenya, through the Ministry of Education, recognizes and supports the JA program.  With the new Secondary School curriculum, JA will provide supplementary learning in business education as well as social ethics curricula.
