Young CEO School Programme

A segment-based term curriculum: weekly content, lesson slides, a teacher guide and sample projects.

How does the programme work?

The curriculum differs by the student's age segment. Junior modules are gamified and short; Senior modules focus on projects and presentations. Each module is split into weekly sessions and closes with measurable outcomes.

The teacher guide and lesson slides for every module taught during club hours can be downloaded from this page.
