How Do We Prepare Kids For Business?

Our curriculum is delivered using a number of approaches;

• Games
• Introduce a concept, discuss with independent & group activities
• Project Based Learning - Example: create a product commercial
• Research based learning – research businesses, products, industries and countries
• Experience based learning – in-class jobs, start a business and business lunch program
• Perspective learning. Draw on your own experiences as a consumer. Think as a stakeholder - worker, customer, supplier, and business
• Podcast audio and video seminars

Our approach has been developed by examining parenting, traditional teaching techniques, business training techniques, sports programming and youth programming. We have taken an integration of approaches to provide kids, teachers and parents with business preparation programming - curriculum to teach kids business.

All skills and experiences learned through our program can be used as daily life skills, to improve performance in school, to improve as a consumer and prepare for business.
