Student testimonial
"I now always attempt to operate on the side of faith, trust and risk. By operating in this manner and not letting the stops keep me down, my self esteem has improved." E.C., Bulkeley High School
"This seminar has helped me in many ways. It has showed me that I can achieve goals that are even higher than my expectations. It has also shown me that what other people think is impossible is possible and that no matter what people say to discourage you, you need to keep on going and always know you can and there are no limits to what you can do." M.H., New Britain High School
"My life right now is a lot better because of the things that I've learned from this seminar. I think more before I react." S.C., Prince Tech
"This program improved my attitude towards people and life and for that I say thanks!" T.L., Prince Tech |
This is what we know to be true:
You cannot become an artist if your paint brush doesn't touch the canvas.
You cannot become a basketball star if you are not on the court playing.
You cannot become an entrepreneur sitting in a classroom writing business plans.
To be an entrepreneur you must have a vision, take action, have faith, be at risk and trust, and not stop. And your age has nothing to do with it.
The Entrepreneurial Course for High School Students
This course is a combination of an effective and innovative curriculum and an uncompromising resolve that students be 100% accountable for their own success and future, no exceptions.
Carefully selected and trained staff, early and consistent parent/guardian engagement, and teacher meetings reinforce that the students are responsible for their achievements in the program. The support system in each student’s life becomes focused on having the student succeed inside of the course curriculum.
Key Benefits
Students are excited by and responsible for the future they see and create for themselves, giving them the motivation to excel at their studies.
High school students graduate with the necessary business character and problem-solving skills to succeed in today’s business world such as teamwork, work ethic, critical thinking and leadership.
Students experience entrepreneurialism at a young age, and the experience prepares them for taking risks in business – a necessary ingredient for true leadership.
Students confront their self-imposed limits, leaving them capable of achieving far more than they thought was possible.
Students learn that “integrity” reaches into their personal relationships, and they become more active participants in their family and community.
How It Works
The Entrepreneurial Course for High School Students is an interactive, experience-based after-school program, during which teams of students conceive of and launch real businesses in only nine-weeks. The program is specially designed for high school juniors and seniors.
This is not a typical “how to start a business” course. Rather, this Course focuses on key practices that must be mastered to be a successful entrepreneur or employee – Integrity, Enrollment, Team, Leadership and “Being a 10” are foremost among them.
