Description
The Incubator School ( www.incubatorschool.org) is a free and open public school on the Westside of Los Angeles where middle and high school students learn Entrepreneurship and launch real businesses in 8th grade. The skills they develop prepares them for success in college and the real world. They also form networks across race and socioeconomic status by attending a truly integrated school, definitely the most diverse in Los Angeles, if not entire United States.
Our graduates will go on to top colleges, or go right into startups in Silicon Beach because they will have both the academic skills and the entrepreneurial mindsets to persist in the face of challenges and add value as soon as they graduate.
We incubate...
an entrepreneurial mindset that is alert to the needs of individuals and communities.
entrepreneurs who can generate fresh ideas, then collaborate, tinker, test, execute and learn from their mistakes.
the skills to listen, pitch and communicate ideas in ways that are simple, clear and compelling.
expertise which is grounded in fundamental, deep, and connective knowledge that enables problem-solving.
the technical and financial knowhow to bring an idea to market.
entrepreneurs who inspire change in the world around them.
