How a Year Works

Each level runs for a full year of four terms. Students attend a two-hour session a week, in a fixed group with the same facilitator all year.

Weekly Sessions

The Module hour

Each term covers one new business subject, so students complete four modules in a year.

The Venture Lab hour

Students run their own real business all year, putting each module into practice as they go.

Capstones

Every June and December, students sell to the public and pitch their venture on stage.​

Term 1 January to March

Placement

A short placement assessment confirms the right starting level.

We have four intakes a year, in January, April, July and October. Families enrol for a full level, which runs for one year. Each group builds its ventures together, so keeping the group steady for the whole year matters to every child in it.

Questions Parents Ask

Does my child need to finish Foundation before joining Venture? No. Venture Level 1 is designed as a fresh start, so teenagers can join without any earlier experience.

What happens if my child turns 13 during Foundation? They finish the level they are in. At the end of that level, we decide together with your family whether they continue in Foundation or move to Venture.

Does it matter which term we join in? Your child joins whichever module their level is running that term and completes all four across the year. If you join in April or October, there will be one quarter without classes before your child's next level begins, and you will not be charged for it.

What if my child misses the target grade? They still move up to the next level. The grade affects which certificate they receive, and we will talk through what to work on next.
