Why Harvard Business Impact.

They brought the case method and the case library, from the institution the method came from. We brought the K-12 adaptation, the three bootcamps and the teacher course, so cases are written for school-age judgement rather than handed down from an MBA classroom.

The case method, adapted for K-12

What a case discussion actually asks of a student.

A case has no answer key. The student reads a real situation, takes a position, and finds out in the room whether it survives contact with thirty-nine other people.

Work out what is actually going on.

  • Read a case written for school-age judgement, not an MBA cohort.
  • Separate the facts from the noise, and say what is missing.
  • Take a position out loud, before knowing whether it is right.

Outcome: a student who can hold an opinion and an open mind at once.

What the programme brings with it.

  • CASES Case packs written for K-12 judgement, refreshed each year.
  • CURRICULUM Lesson-by-lesson discussion plans mapped to your timetable.
  • TEACHER The parallel Harvard Business Impact course, plus certification.
  • BOOTCAMPS Three life-skills bootcamps, scheduled outside term pressure.
  • ASSESSMENT Rubrics for contribution and reasoning, and the certification path.

Two certifications, from where the case method came from.

Harvard Business Impact adapted the method for school age with us and certifies the work. The student is certified on assessed case discussion. The teacher is certified through the parallel course, so the method stays in your school after the bootcamp ends.
