Sustainable Enterprise Project

During Junior year, students develop and implement a business through the Sustainable Enterprise Project. This year-long project begins with students identifying a professional purpose that motivates them, developing a business idea, and crafting a business plan for a sustainable enterprise of their choice.  Businesses must meet a triple bottom line, demonstrating their benefits for people, the planet, and profits. At the culmination of the fall semester, students deliver pitches on their enterprises to a panel of mock investors. This panel then selects a handful of businesses to be implemented. The spring semester focuses on implementing the selected business plans in groups.

When students finish 11th grade, they will know how to write a business plan, and launch and run a business!
