MBA Style Business Class for Kids (9-12 year olds)

The class will be five weeks long, following the course schedule below. Each class is 1 hour long and requires no prep beforehand. The students only need to bring themselves, a desire to learn about the business world, and a mindset that is ready to discuss, explore, and debate.

We use the case method approach, meaning that each week students will receive a 1 page case write up of a business scenario and we will discuss and work through it live in class. This is not a lecture format. Students will be asked to participate, think on the fly, and communicate their view points. 

We strive to make these classes as engaging as they are educational, so we incorporate activities, games, and role playing. 

Students do NOT require any prior knowledge or experience of business. This course will teach them the introduction, while also teaching them to think like a CEO. All course material will be provided, so nothing additional is required from you.
