Experience the Transformation
Launching an entrepreneurship program is daunting - when you do it alone.
Maybe you’ve tried to launch an entrepreneurial program before, or maybe your school invested thousands of dollars in a “makerspace” that is now nothing more than unused eye-candy.
The truth is, a lot of so-called “entrepreneurial programs” these days are basic and do not actively engage the students.
They end up becoming a headache for one of the teachers to deal with, rather than a point of pride for the school.
We get it. And we knew there was a better way.
So we created a tried and tested entrepreneurship program that is impact-driven, stable, and is positively changing the lives of students, teachers, and entire schools throughout the country.
With abundant school options available, standing out as the preferred choice can be difficult
Parents are looking for a school that will provide lasting impact for their children. They are increasingly interested in their children developing skills and traits that will help them outside of academia, and the traditional classroom setting isn’t filling those gaps.
What we’re seeing is an epidemic of students becoming great test-takers, but also leaving school with:
- Lack of confidence
- Only developing book smarts
- Fear of failure
- Silo-mentality
- Unprepared for the workforce
- Scarcity mindset
The
Entrepreneurial
Mindset
For each student that participates in the program, our goal is to instill the Entrepreneurial Mindset which is comprised of the following four attributes:
Growth Mindset
Understand and implement a growth mindset connected to one’s personal mission, vision, and core values.
Grit
Develop goal-setting skills that combine passion and perseverance so that resilience becomes a by-product of achievement.
Redefine Failure
Understand that true failure is not trying in the first place and that to succeed we must be biased for action.
Opportunity Seeking
Realize that problems are opportunities in disguise and that success is directly connected to problem solving and getting comfortable with being uncomfortable.
“Teaching entrepreneurship within the school setting is exciting for students as they are already thinking creatively and offers a space for them to channel their ideas. But the greater gain is teaching the entrepreneurial mindset. It is foundational to a student’s success and easily transferable from operating a new business venture to their daily coursework and social interactions.
This program is invaluable for our students and perfectly aligns to our school’s mission of developing a student’s character, intellect, and potential to explore, create, challenge and lead.”

“I can’t tell you how great it’s been to have you supporting this growth right now. You’ve given me some of the key pieces that have helped me motivate my students to run this business well and to cast the vision. It’s been amazing.
“There’re so many things I would have had to wrestle with a lot more without having you say ‘hey, here’s what I’ve learned’ so it’s been really helpful.
Thank you.”

Why Work with Seed Tree Group?
We understand that launching an entrepreneurship program is exciting but also somewhat daunting.
You are running school, and that is no small task. The idea of launching, managing, training, and seeing an entrepreneurial program through to success can be too much. But, you also recognize the importance of programs that instill an Entrepreneurial Mindset in your students.
That’s why we created a system that doesn’t overwhelm or rely on the head of school/administrative staff. Our system has been successfully implemented in private schools across the U.S. and we would like to do the same for you.
