During Entrepreneurship Week, our learners had five days to take their ideas from early thinking to a final pitch. They identified real problems, worked in teams, spoke to potential customers, built simple prototypes, and presented their ventures to a panel of judges.
Entrepreneurship isn’t just about creating a business. It’s a mindset — staying curious, thinking creatively, working with others, adapting, and solving problems.
And this mindset was reflected in the work our learners produced. They surprised us with their ideas, their process, and the way they presented their work — practical skills they’re building and honing every day.

We wrapped up the term with our Winter Fair — a day filled with performances, activities, and time together as a community. We wish everyone a wonderful restful holiday season! ❄️🎄

At our recent Term 1 project-based learning showcase, learners from FS1 to Year 9 shared projects tackling real-world challenges: safe animal homes, inclusive playgrounds, eco-homes, greenhouse start-ups, pandemic response plans, and digital health literacy. Each project showed how creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking come to life when learning has purpose.
This showcase captures what PBL looks like in practice: empowering learners to take ownership of their learning, making lessons meaningful, and encouraging hands-on collaboration and problem-solving.

📍Citizens Entrepreneurship Week 2025
Five days. Real problems. Real solutions.
Last week, Citizens School hosted its inaugural Entrepreneurship Week, where learners went through the entire process of identifying a market need, researching, building solutions, and pitching them.
We aligned the event with Global Entrepreneurship Week — using it as a platform to showcase how our learners practice entrepreneurial thinking every day, not just as a subject, but as a mindset.
To every learner who built, tested, failed, improved, and pitched: we are so incredibly proud of you.
To all staff who facilitated, empowered, and supported: thank you.
This is an example of how entrepreneurship is part of daily school life, helping learners build initiative, resilience, and strong project-based learning skills. 🌱

📍 أسبوع ريادة الأعمال في سيتزنز 2025
خمسة أيام. مشكلات حقيقية. حلول حقيقية
شهدت مدرسة سيتزنز الأسبوع الماضي أول أسبوع لريادة الأعمال، حيث مرّ المتعلمون بجميع المراحل بدءًا من البحث عن مجال يمكن تطويره أو ابتكار حل جديد له .والبحث، وبناء الحلول، وصولًا إلى عرضها وتقديمها
وقد جرى تنظيم هذا الحدث بالتزامن مع الأسبوع العالمي لريادة الأعمال — لتسليط الضوء على كيفية ممارسة متعلمينا للتفكير الريادي كل يوم، ليس كمادة دراسية، بل كعقلية ونهج حياة
إلى كل متعلم بنى، وجرب، وأخفق، وطوّر، وقدم فكرته: نحن فخورون بكم جدًا
وإلى كل عضو في الفريق .دعم، ومكّن، ووجّه: شكرًا لكم
هذا الحدث مثال على أن ريادة الأعمال جزء من الحياة اليومية في المدرسة، يساعد المتعلمين على بناء المبادرة، والمرونة، ومهارات التعلم القائم على المشاريع. 🌱
ترقبوا المزيد! 🔜

What is entrepreneurship?
It’s not just about business – it’s about building curiosity, resilience, creativity, and confidence. And Entrepreneurship Week at Citizens is proving just how capable young minds can be, when given the space to try, fail, and grow. 🌱

Entrepreneurship isn’t about job titles or business pitches — it’s about mindset, curiosity, and real-world skills.
At Citizens, we don’t teach entrepreneurship as a standalone subject. We shape entrepreneurs through meaningful learning experiences that encourage initiative, resilience, and real-world impact.
Whether it’s identifying opportunities or taking calculated risks, our learners practise entrepreneurial thinking every day — building the confidence and life skills they need to thrive in a fast-changing world.
ريادة الأعمال ليست منصبًا وظيفيًا ولا عرضًا تجاريًا — إنها عقلية وفضول ومهارات واقعية.
في سيتزنز، نحن لا ندرّس ريادة الأعمال كمادة منفصلة، بل نصنع روّاد أعمال من خلال تجارب تعلم هادفة تشجّع على المبادرة، والمرونة، وصناعة تأثير حقيقي.
سواء كان الأمر تحديد الفرص أو اتخاذ المخاطر المحسوبة، يمارس طلابنا التفكير الريادي يوميًا — ليبنوا الثقة والمهارات الحياتية التي يحتاجونها للنجاح في عالم سريع التغير.
