“All children are born entrepreneurs”. 

Maths, English and Science, you can learn in any curriculum, but it’s lessons in Entrepreneurship that offer students real-life work experience. Through these types of programmes, students learn communication, teamwork and time management… All crucial ‘life-after-school’ skills. Only ONE school in Dubai has an in-school entrepreneurship incubator and accelerator programme giving students this opportunity. Incredibly, they focus on entrepreneurship from KG and up, helping young students to THINK like entrepreneurs from day one.
