Entrepreneurship
Developing the entrepreneurial thinkers of tomorrow
At the heart of the AWS experience is our commitment to developing entrepreneurial skills and mindsets in every student. We believe that entrepreneurial thinking — creativity, resilience, initiative, and problem-solving — is essential for success in any career or life pursuit.
Our K-12 entrepreneurship curriculum progressively builds these competencies, from early exploration in elementary school to venture creation in high school.
The entrepreneurial competencies we develop
Generating innovative ideas, thinking outside the box, and approaching problems with fresh perspectives.
Identifying unmet needs, market gaps, and possibilities that others overlook.
Bouncing back from setbacks, learning from failure, and pivoting strategies when needed.
Building effective teams, leveraging diverse strengths, and working together toward shared goals.
Articulating ideas persuasively, telling compelling stories, and presenting with confidence.
Turning ideas into reality through planning, resource management, and disciplined execution.
Yes, entrepreneurial education is integrated into the curriculum for all students K-12. It's not about starting businesses — it's about developing the mindset and skills for success in any field.
Our approach goes far beyond traditional business education. We develop transferable skills like creative thinking, resilience, and initiative that apply to every career path and life situation.
