Inspiring kids through a greater understanding of business
Our Programs
In-School and Extracurricular
All of our programs introduce the basics of running a business to school-age kids, grades 4 – 8.
Grounded in examples of real businesses, students are divided into mock companies which they name and operate over several sessions, each time facing a new business challenge. Kids rotate through roles like CEO, CFO, sales, and marketing to experience a variety of jobs.
They have fun working together to strategize and run a production cycle -- buying raw materials, building products, and selling their finished goods in the “market.” At the end of every session, each company calculates revenues, costs, and profits, which are then presented and discussed for continuous improvement.
This engaging approach to learning inspires students as they develop important skills.
In-School Curriculum Enrichment
Mind Your Business works closely with teachers and school administrators to ensure that our course content fulfills each school’s curriculum enrichment needs. Our program can be tailored to emphasize math concepts or digital learning tools and to fit within your school schedule.
Mind Your Business is located northwest of Boston in Andover, MA, and currently offers in-person classes at local schools in the Merrimack Valley of Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire.
Extracurricular Learning
Our business simulation course is also available as out-of-school enrichment for after-school programs, school vacation days or during summer months.
Like our in-school programs, kids are actively engaged as they experience the fundamentals of running a company.
All programs are facilitated by Mind Your Business either in person at your school or facility.
