CHILDREN’S BUSINESS FAIRS

As early as Elementary School, children learn leadership skills needed to become successful entrepreneurs by building their own individual businesses from the ground up. Watch this video to witness a Children’s Business Fair in action, and see businesses created and launched entirely by children.

WE BELIEVE THAT:

21ST CENTURY LEARNING

• The latest in educational technology for self-paced mastery of reading, writing and math skills.
• Deep Socratic discussions about heroes, history and self-governance to hone critical thinking skills and the ability to powerfully think, write and speak.
• Hands-on project based Quests to master the tools and skills needed to solve problems in the real world.
• Written promises and covenants that form a tightly bound community of individuals learning to form authentic friendships and honestly resolve interpersonal problems.

A LEARNER DRIVEN COMMUNITY

• Students create and sign a Contract of Promises describing how each individual will act and the consequences for violating community norms.
• Mentor teams encourage younger and older students to listen, affirm, set goals and hold each other accountable.
• “Learn to Be” badges that celebrate character and completing leadership challenges.

MEASURING MASTERY

Young heroes celebrate the mastery of tools, skills and character by earning badges, assembling portfolios and taking part in public exhibitions.

Parents use badges to track academic progress in Core Skills like reading, writing, math and spelling and character development in “Learn to Be” Badges.

Electronic and hard copy Portfolios capture rough drafts, photos, video and other creative work.

Public exhibitions at the end of most Quests allow young heroes to present work to experts, customers or the public for a real world test.
