Dear Parent,
If you are like most of the parents in our global community, you will be aware of the rapid changes happening throughout the world that will affect your children. You will have, like many of us, had to learn entirely new skills to home school your children, whilst running your business, your household and family.
Unemployment is already at 165 Million and growing daily. It is anticipated that global youth unemployment will rise to over one billion young people. They are most at risk as they grow up amidst major disruptions caused by globalisation, automation and economic fluctuations. Missing the opportunity to develop essential skills will have a lasting impact on their future.
The current education system is geared up to teach your children how to get a job but when they leave school, what jobs will there be for them to apply for? The one size fits all model of education is failing our children, resulting in learning experiences that are disengaging, irrelevant and redundant. The education system has not changed in over 100 years and yet today everything has changed.
It’s time for an education revolution. Your children deserve better.
The good news is we have already started the Education Revolution with the Genius School and you and your child can join it with us today, by completing the Youth Entrepreneur Academy.
Your child will learn how to ‘create a job’ without needing to ‘get a job’. Each student will be connected to one global school where we are learning and growing together.

The campuses range from schools to colleges, resorts and co-working offices. The calendar includes over 500 local, online events and Microdegrees on our EdTech platform, GeniusU.
When you and your child join us in the Genius School’s Young Entrepreneur Academy, your child will experience a personalised and tailored approach to how they “create themselves a job”. Knowing and being able to display these crucial skills of entrepreneurship for delivering value in today's marketplace is how your child will create their own job.
By completing the Young Entrepreneur Academy, they will learn the process in a way that is personalised and in their flow. Working with some of the top entrepreneurs and educators from around the world, they will be able to present their plan and business with the opportunity to be in the running to receive an award for the completion of their plan.
For as little as one to two hours each day, your child will have the guidance of the mentors and educators as well as the support of a facilitator to implement a full plan from zero to an operational digital cash-generating pathway by the end of the academy
We're bringing on board our first 60 young people now. So apply today, I wish you and your child all the best in your application and we look forward to working with you both!
On receiving your child’s application, you and your child will be invited to a call with one of our expert Genius Igniters, where we will take you through a process to define what are the results you and your child are looking to achieve in the next 3 months.
On the call, if the Young Entrepreneur Academy feels like a fit and if the Genius Igniter invites you to join, you will decide together which of the two camps works best. That's when the adventure begins!
On acceptance to the Entrepreneur Youth Academy, you and your child will be invited to an orientation call with your facilitator where you will get focused on the key outcomes you want to achieve during the academy and where you feel you will need the most support.
Your child will get access to the full Academy Microschool calendar, with daily content and challenges, this includes live Mentor sessions implementation days, Monday to Friday. During these sessions they will be able to put into action the key steps covered in their business creation, whilst growing self awareness and learning how to learn effectively and create a compelling future of a life lived on purpose.

Genius School’s Young Entrepreneur Academy is for your child if you:
Are a home-schooling parent, who needs support and guidance on how to provide the best education for your child but don't feel that the current home schooling system is helping to provide this.
You want to give your teen the very best start in life, to ensure they have the correct skills to show them how to create a job for life and to support them in developing their confidence, communication and leadership skills to accelerate their future success.
You want to further grow and deepen family relationships and connection in order to support your teen in their education and to navigate their way through this critically important time in their life where they are making big decisions for their future.

Nurturing children to think with an entrepreneurial mindset is the best thing we can do for their present and future. Young Entrepreneur Academy cultivates their individual talents with positive energy and promotes hope and possibilities they would not know on their own or learn from school. They discover how much impact they can make to this world 1% at a time and make better decisions like what to do when at home. YEA is a life-time learning platform with so many experienced and kind-hearted entrepreneurs to feel safe for my kids to interact with. I can’t think of anywhere else I’d want my children to be to receive this transformation.”
- Sylvia, Mother of Ben and Vanessa, 14-year-old and 15-year-old.
YEA has given Luke the confidence and clarity to pursue his passion - setting up a digital marketing agency. The Genius School team delivered an excellent program over 4 weeks that provided a step-by-step program helping young aspiring entrepreneurs develop an idea into a sound business plan. They learned from specialists on various aspects of business and gained practical knowledge, experience and resources to attract customers and generate income. I highly recommend YEA to any young people who want to explore and experience entrepreneurship as a career path.
