Vail Valley Unbound

Vail Valley Unbound We’re a K-5 school designed for builders and creators. An entrepreneurial approach to education. Being decisive doesn’t always mean being correct.

Entrepreneurship is defined as “the pursuit of opportunity beyond the resources currently controlled.” While we don’t explicitly set out to have all of our students become entrepreneurs, we believe that the characteristics of entrepreneurs prepare children for the world. We focus on developing seven key characteristics that we believe are not only important to entrepreneurs but to everyone!

1)

Curiosity: Rather than settling for what they think they know, our learners ask challenging questions and explore different avenues. We create structured experiments to determine if an idea is worth pursuing. We stay curious.

2) Adaptability: The nature of business and life is ever-changing. Entrepreneurship is an iterative process, and new challenges and opportunities present themselves at every turn. We are adaptable.

3) Decisiveness: As a leader, entrepreneurs are responsible for guiding the trajectory of their business, including every aspect from funding and strategy to resource allocation. We make challenging decisions and see them through.

4) Team Building: A great entrepreneur is aware of their strengths and weaknesses. Rather than letting shortcomings hold them back. We build well-rounded teams based on strengths and weaknesses in ourselves that we embrace.

5) Risk Tolerance: Entrepreneurs are comfortable with encountering some level of risk to reap the rewards of their efforts; however, their risk tolerance is tightly related to their efforts to mitigate it. We take calculated risks.

6) Growth Mindset: It’s estimated that nearly 75 percent of new startups fail. We thrive on challenges and use our failures to grow and improve.

7) Critical Thinking: By developing critical thinking skills, our learners are well-equipped to spot innovative opportunities, think about the big picture and long-term vision. We use Socratic questioning to flex our critical thinking muscles and build skills.

What does a day in our Spark Studio look like?
Our Spark students set out to answer that question themselves. Together, we created the “Colorful Spark Learner Box,” filled with examples of reading, writing, math, and a Socratic launch.

They are learning to reflect on their growth and take ownership of their journey. One by one, they will take home their box to teach their families all that they’ve learned.

Watching them find their voice and share their thinking is a powerful reminder of just how capable, confident, and independent young children can be. 💛
