At Canggu Community School (CCS), we are committed to preparing our students not just for the world as it is, but for the world as it will be. One of the most powerful shifts we’re embracing is the integration of entrepreneurial thinking across the curriculum. Contrary to popular belief, entrepreneurship isn't just for students who want to start businesses — it’s a mindset that empowers all learners to be curious, creative, and courageous.
The Future of Education Report 2025/26 reminds us that the most future-ready learners are those who possess key traits like adaptability, empathy, problem-solving, and resilience — all core qualities nurtured through entrepreneurial learning. These aren’t just business skills; they are life skills. Whether our students dream of launching a start-up, becoming engineers, artists, scientists, or social activists, entrepreneurial learning at CCS cultivates initiative and deep thinking that transcends any single subject.
At CCS, we embed these skills into authentic learning experiences that connect to our core values of learning, respect, balance, and engagement. Students take charge of their learning through inquiry, collaboration, and community-focused projects that matter to them. Entrepreneurship education is not confined to one subject area or classroom; it is a whole-school philosophy.
When students identify a problem they care about and develop innovative solutions, learning becomes deeply personal and incredibly engaging. Our goal is to help students at CCS connect their passions to purpose, whether through sustainable design projects, local community ventures, or global awareness campaigns. We’ve seen firsthand how this kind of learning fosters optimism and resilience — exactly what today’s young people need to navigate an uncertain world.
Through programs like student-led initiatives, service learning, and even our unique island-wide events like the International School Surfing Competition, students are already developing entrepreneurial muscles. These experiences cultivate creative thinking, communication, and the courage to try, fail, and try again.
Our strategic plan envisions a school where all learners, from Early Years to Year 13, are equipped with the tools to adapt and thrive. This means making space for design thinking, student agency, and experiential learning that builds not only knowledge but character. With support from global partners like Future Design School, we are developing teacher capacity and curriculum frameworks that place innovation and student voice at the heart of everything we do.
To our CCS parents and community: your role is vital. Encourage your child to ask questions. Celebrate effort, not just achievement. Help them see challenges as opportunities. Whether at home or at school, we are raising a generation of ethical leaders, empathetic changemakers, and bold problem-solvers.
Together, we can ensure that every student at CCS is future-ready, with the mindset and skills to not only adapt to change — but to lead it.
Let’s raise the bar. Let’s empower every child to be an entrepreneur of their own future.
