BONUS: Entrepreneurial Projects for every grade!

Every child is capable of original ideas, problem-solving, and meaningful contribution - and our entrepreneurial projects are designed to bring that potential to life.

Included in every grade, these projects invite children to dream, create, plan, and explore real-world possibilities. From market stalls and handmade products in the early years to small business ideas, design thinking, and budgeting in later grades, students learn to communicate clearly, think critically, and take initiative.

We believe that nurturing an entrepreneurial mindset from a young age builds skills that last a lifetime - resilience, creativity, leadership, and adaptability. As the world of work and business continues to change, we can’t predict exactly what the future will hold - but we can raise thinkers who are ready for it. Whether a child grows up to start a business, join a team, or invent something brand new, we want them to understand that there are many ways to contribute to the world - beyond simply finding a job. Our goal is to inspire possibility, purpose, and big-picture thinking in every learner.
