The programme your competitors
cannot copy next term.

A complete entrepreneurship curriculum for schools — built over 14 years, tested in real classrooms, and ready to run in your timetable within a week.

Every school offers coding. Every school offers STEM. Very few offer a structured, multi-year entrepreneurship programme where students build a real business, learn Aristotle's First Principles, and finish with a business plan they have pitched out loud. That gap is your opportunity.

65%

65% of children entering primary school today will work in jobs that do not exist yet.

That single figure is why entrepreneurial thinking stopped being an enrichment activity and became a core skill. Your students will not be able to look up the answers to problems nobody has faced before. They will have to reason from first principles, build something, and back themselves when it matters. That is precisely what this programme teaches.

The situation

Parents are asking a question your prospectus doesn't answer

And the schools that answer it first will be the ones parents choose.

What parents are worried about
"Will my child be ready for a world that doesn't exist yet?"

Parents read the same headlines you do. Automation. AI. Careers that will not exist in ten years. They are no longer reassured by exam results alone — they want to know their child can think independently, solve problems nobody has solved, and back themselves when it matters.

Most schools have no structured answer to that question. They have enrichment activities and a mission statement.

What your school can say instead
"Our students build a real business before they finish school."

That is a specific, concrete, memorable answer — and it is one very few schools in the world can give. It differentiates you at open evenings in a way that no facility upgrade or exam statistic can.

And it isn't marketing. Students genuinely finish with a business plan, a pitch they have delivered, and a portfolio they built themselves.

Why directors say yes

Six reasons this ends up on the timetable

Beyond the curriculum itself, here is what adopting Kid Startupper does for your institution.

It sets your school apart

Very few schools teach entrepreneurship as a structured, multi-year curriculum. Offering it gives parents a concrete reason to choose you — and gives your admissions team something specific to say that competitors cannot replicate quickly.

Almost no extra teacher workload

The curriculum, e-books, quizzes, lesson plans and assessment materials are all provided and ready to use. Your educator facilitates rather than prepares. Training takes 1–2 hours and is included at no cost.

Outcomes parents can actually see

Students finish with a business plan, a pitch, and a portfolio they can show. Critical thinking and initiative stop being aspirational bullet points and become things parents notice at the dinner table.

It pairs perfectly with STEM and robotics

If your school already runs robotics or STEM, this completes the picture. Students take what they have built and learn how it becomes a business. That is why it's called Kid Startupper — it bridges creativity with commercial thinking.

It helps retention, not just recruitment

A three-to-five year programme gives families a reason to stay through the years when they are most likely to look elsewhere. Students who are building something rarely want to leave halfway through.

Your annual Hackathon can generate revenue

At the end of each year students compete in a Hackathon. You set the entry fee, you keep the revenue, and you can open it to students from other schools — turning it into both an income stream and a recruitment event.

What directors say after they've seen it in their own classroom

Not our words. Theirs.

Metagnosi Education Center
Metagnosi
Private Education Center · Greece
Verified partner center

After running the summer camp, we were clear about one thing: if we were going to add a new programme to our schedule for the coming season, this would be the first one.

Why this one counts

This is a private center that has to fill its own timetable and justify every hour commercially. When a center says a programme is first on the list, that is a business judgement, not a compliment.

The curriculum

Five study cycles. Two of them only you can offer.

Each cycle runs across one academic year. Cycles 1–3 are the complete core programme. Cycles 4 and 5 cannot be purchased by families at any price — they exist only inside partner schools.

Cycle Focus What students learn Access
1 Foundation Professional identity, career exploration, building a global entrepreneurial network Home & School
2 Business Creating a real business, Business Model Canvas, marketing and promotion Home & School
3 Founder Aristotle's First Principles, management, startups, venture capital, pitching Home & School
4 E-Commerce Building an online store, digital marketing, orders and payments, staying safe online Schools only
5 Green Entrepreneurship Sustainable business, environmental impact, green branding, impact measurement Schools only

Cycles 4 and 5 require group work and teacher facilitation that a child cannot replicate alone at home. If your students want to go further than the home programme allows, your school is the only route there.

What you receive

Everything is provided. You supply the room.

There is no curriculum to write, no materials to source, and no specialist expertise required from your teaching staff.

Helping students discover which career fields connect to their entrepreneurial interests.

The online platform

Individual student accounts, business pages, global network, portfolio — all browser-based.

The zero-risk way to start

Run a free 30-day pilot with one class

You do not need to commit your school to a new curriculum on the strength of a brochure. Most schools that adopt Kid Startupper start exactly this way — one class, one teacher, thirty days. Nothing is charged, and nothing is owed if you decide not to continue.

  • Everything you need for a full month of teaching — opening lessons of every cycle, plus all materials, worksheets and quizzes
  • Free online training for your educator before the first lesson (1–2 hours, scheduled around you)
  • Full administrator dashboard so you can watch student progress in real time from day one
  • Andrew, the AI mentor, active with a limited allowance — enough to see exactly how he works
  • Accounts activated within 24 hours of your student list — you can start next week
  • No credit card, no contract, no automatic renewal. If you stop, you stop.

What directors ask us first

Answered directly.

Is the 30-day pilot really free, with no conditions?

Yes. No credit card, no contract, no minimum student count, no automatic conversion to a paid subscription. At the end of thirty days you tell us whether you want to continue. If you don't, nothing happens and nothing is owed.

How many students do we need to start?

There is no minimum. Many schools begin with a single class of ten to fifteen students to see how it fits before expanding across year groups. Starting small is usually the smartest way in.

How much extra work is this for our teachers?

Considerably less than building a programme yourself. Lesson plans, curriculum content, e-books, quizzes, presentations and assessment materials are all provided and ready to use. Your educator facilitates the session rather than preparing it. Training takes one to two hours and is included.

Do we need special equipment or IT infrastructure?

No. The platform runs in a standard web browser on any desktop or laptop with an internet connection. A projector is helpful but not essential. There is nothing to install, host, license or maintain on your side.

What does it cost?

$150 per student per academic year for Cycles 1–3, and $100 for Cycles 4 and 5 — our Continuation Rate, because schools that take students all the way through pay less, not more. Pricing may vary by country. Full detail is on our school pricing page.

Is the platform compliant with child data protection requirements?

Yes — COPPA and GDPR compliant, McAfee SECURE certified, no advertising, and no student data shared with third parties. Full detail is on our Safety & Compliance page and in our Privacy Policy. We have never declined a compliance review request from a school.

When during the year can we start?

Whenever suits your timetable. The programme is not tied to a fixed intake date. Students also retain access during holidays, so a mid-year start does not cost them anything.

Can students continue to use the platform at home?

Yes. Every student has their own account and can access the platform from home — during term, over weekends, and through holiday periods. Many of the best projects get built outside the classroom.

Thirty days will tell you more than thirty pages will.

Open School in Cyprus ran it and called it the technological tool that was missing. Metagnosi ran the summer camp and put it first on their list for the coming season. Both started exactly the same way you would — one class, thirty days, nothing owed.
