VentureSchool is a public charter high school that was created with the primary aim of giving students the opportunity to unleash their entrepreneurial potential while receiving a world-class education. Over the course of the VentureSchool experience, students will gain invaluable experience into what it takes to be an entrepreneur by developing a for-profit or nonprofit venture of their very own from the ground up. At the same time, students will be immersed in a rigorous academic program that maximizes on relevancy and relationship-building--ultimately preparing them for success in college, a career, or wherever life takes them. When students graduate from VentureSchool, they will walk across the stage with a diploma in-hand, as well as a full-fledged plan and seed funding to continue scaling their venture.
