JA Stock Market Challenge® is a live simulation where students take what they learned in the classroom, through the JA Take Stock in your Future® curriculum, and apply it to the real world. JA Areas facilitate fast-paced competitions based on a fictional marketplace. Students can compete in teams or individually, in person or remotely.

JA Stock Market Challenge is recommended for high school students (Grades 9-12). Flexible implementation engages students in both real-world investing practice and fast-paced floor trading to help them synthesize their learning in JA Take Stock in Your Future.

JA Stock Market Challenge is part of the JA Financial Literacy Pathway Pathway.

JA programs support national and state standards in reading, mathematics, social studies, and work and career readiness. See below for more information on alignment with national and state standards.
