Classes
In our classroom lessons, students learn to create, operate, and present their business. Our curriculum includes the opportunity to take part in child-led business fairs organized by us where they can present their products to the general public. This gives them a chance to test their inventions and get feedback in a real-life setting.

We started implementing the Kidpreneur Program here at GSB for the last school year 2018/19 and had our 1. Business Fair as a very successful school wide event in June.
We will continue this program and we will be holding the Business Fair as a yearly school event because our students really benefited in several ways from it.
Understanding how businesses operate, keeping track of finances, and working with others are not just important skills for entrepreneurs; these are basics that are needed in the real-world. The earlier students pick up this basic knowledge, the less they will have to struggle being effective in their jobs, or getting along with others in any setting. In parallel, entrepreneurship education works on building up resilience, developing a sense of optimism, and other important interpersonal skills. These traits will help the future generation deal with challenges, and find ways to succeed in more competitive environment.
It’s our responsibility to kindle the entrepreneurial spirit in children and at GSB we are collectively working with Founded By Kids to support children’s entrepreneurial ambitions.
