The Entrepreneurship and Technology pathway in Grade 9 (moving into Grade 10 2027-28) is an interdisciplinary, inquiry-based programme that blends core IB MYP subject groups, with a strong emphasis on innovation, digital tools, and entrepreneurial thinking.
Programme Overview
This new pathway encourages students to generate ideas and connect classroom learning to real-world challenges. They will be exploring how technology drives business ideas, sustainable solutions, and global impact, while developing practical skills through hands-on projects such as:
Prototyping
Startup Simulations
Digital Innovation Labs
  • Rich Extracurricular Programme
    The day programme is complemented by a rich extracurricular programme that builds on skills, provides opportunities for deep engagement in project development, develops strong leadership skills and enables the students to generate a range of evidence that leads to recognised qualifications and certifications from Microsoft, NFTE and Pearson. In addition, students will prepare for and participate in global challenges and competitions.
Pathway Objectives
  • Cultivate Entrepreneurial Mindset
    Generating ideas, assessing opportunities, managing risks, and building resilience through iterative processes.

  • Develop Technological Proficiency
    Using tools for coding, digital design, prototyping (e.g., 3D modeling or basic app development), and emerging technologies like AI basics or data analysis.

  • Apply Interdisciplinary Inquiry
    Connect concepts from business planning, design, ethics, and technology in project-based learning (e.g., creating viable product prototypes or business models).
  • Strengthen ATL Skills
    Enhance collaboration, critical thinking, research, communication (including pitching ideas), and self-management in real-world contexts.
  • Promote Ethical & Sustainable Practices
    Explore the social, environmental, and economic implications of technology and entrepreneurship.
  • Prepare for Future Pathways
    Build foundations for advanced studies in either the DP (academic rigor) or CP (career-focused application), while encouraging innovation and leadership.
  • This pathway is for students who are:
    Innovative and curious: Constantly asking "How can this be better?" or "What if we tried this?"
    Tech-enthusiastic: Excited by coding, gadgets, apps, robotics, or digital creation, even if they're beginners.
    Entrepreneurial: Enjoy brainstorming business ideas, taking initiative, and turning concepts into action (e.g., through clubs, side projects, or competitions).
    Collaborative problem-solvers: Thrive in team settings, leading or contributing to group projects, and learning from failure.
    Future-oriented and resilient: Comfortable with uncertainty, risk, and iteration; motivated by real-world impact rather than rote learning.
    Strong communicators: Able to pitch ideas, present prototypes, and articulate solutions clearly.
  • Where will students go?
    Students completing this pathway are well-prepared for post-MYP options in Grades 11–12, where they can choose either the IB Diploma Programme (DP) for a more academically rigorous route or the IB Career-related Programme (CP) for a career-focused, hands-on pathway emphasising entrepreneurship and technology application.
IB Diploma Programme (DP) Route
Students pursue a coherent subject selection that builds on their MYP experiences:

  • Key DP subjects often include Business Management (SL/HL), Computer Science (SL/HL), Design Technology (SL/HL), Languages (SL/HL), and Mathematics (SL/HL).
  • Their Extended Essay might focus on entrepreneurial innovation, tech ethics, or startup feasibility.
  • CAS experiences could involve launching school ventures, organizing hackathons, or community tech projects.
IB Career-related Programme (CP) Entrepreneurship Pathway
This flexible, career-oriented alternative combines IB Diploma courses with a dedicated career-related study ( BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Enterprise & Entrepreneurship or SUMAS Sustainable Entrepreneurship) and the unique CP core. It is ideal for students eager to apply entrepreneurial and tech skills in practical, real-world settings while maintaining IB rigor.

This pathway emphasises hands-on experiences like workplace collaborations, ethical reflections, and portfolio-building, preparing students directly for entrepreneurial roles or further vocational/higher education.
Beyond Grades 11-12
Students will be equipped with mindset and skills to create, adapt, and lead in an evolving global economy, whether through academic depth (DP) or applied career readiness (CP).
  • University degrees in Entrepreneurship, Business Administration, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Digital Innovation, Sustainable Business, or related fields at leading institutions.
  • Involvement in startup incubators, accelerators, hackathons, or competitions (e.g., university entrepreneurship programs).
  • Careers such as tech entrepreneurs, product managers, software developers, innovation consultants, data analysts, or roles in sustainable tech and impact-driven companies.
  • Advanced opportunities like MBAs, specialized tech master's programs, apprenticeships in fintech/edtech/green innovation, or launching their own ventures.
Admission
The academic year begins in September and concludes in June. Prospective students can apply now for all academic programmes. Admission into the school depends on the student's overall tests/interview results as well as place availability in a particular programme and grade. Please note that the school begins accepting children who are a full 3 years of age by 1st September.
