    Enterprise Explorers Course summary

    Enterprise Explorers introduces business and entrepreneurship through hands-on, age-appropriate challenges rather than lectures.

    Students investigate customers, products, supply chains, trading and branding, then develop and pitch an original business idea.

    It suits curious young learners who enjoy creativity, teamwork and problem-solving; previous business knowledge is unnecessary.

    What is Enterprise Explorers?

    Enterprise Explorers is an Atlas Summer Courses business and entrepreneurship summer school for younger students. It introduces how ideas become useful products or services and how businesses respond to customer needs.

    Teaching is interactive and task-based, with games, group work, problem-solving and practical projects. Students explore topics such as supply chains, trading, branding and product development before creating and pitching an idea of their own.

    Why Succeed highlights Enterprise Explorers Course

    • The course translates business concepts into games, challenges and projects appropriate for younger learners.

    • Separate age groups allow tutors to adjust the challenge for ages 9-10 and 11-12.

    • Students create and pitch an idea, giving the week a concrete practical output.

    • Small-group teaching encourages every student to participate and communicate ideas.

    • Residential students receive structured pastoral support at Harrow School.

    Who is Enterprise Explorers Course for?

    Best for

    Curious children who enjoy inventing ideas, solving practical problems, collaborating and presenting to others.

    Not ideal if

    Your child needs a fixed syllabus, formal academic credit or a course focused on starting a real company.

    Is Enterprise Explorers Course worth it?

    Enterprise Explorers can be worthwhile for a child who learns best by making, discussing and testing ideas. The student-created concept and pitch provide more purpose than a week of general business talks.

    The main limitation is value for money: families are paying for a short course and wider summer-school experience, and no provider scholarship or bursary is currently offered. The flexible tutor-led syllabus also means families cannot rely on a fixed list of topics.
