DUBAI, UAE, August 2026: Children across the UAE now have access to a structured business school built just for them. MINIBOSS BUSINESS SCHOOL Dubai has officially opened enrollment for its first formal intake beginning on September 12, 2026, introducing a long term entrepreneurship education pathway for students aged 6 to 18 at Dubai Knowledge Park.
The school is the Dubai branch of the UK founded MINIBOSS international education network and offers a structured 8 course programme that helps children build practical business, leadership, communication and problem-solving skills over several years.
Unlike short workshops or holiday camps, the programme follows a step-by-step learning pathway where students create startups, work in teams, present business ideas, attend masterclasses, join business tours and compete in startup forums and international competitions.
Each course runs for one academic year and includes 12 types of hands on practical activities. Students who complete the full pathway and meet the academic and practical requirements can earn the MINIBOSS International Diploma.
A Long-Term Approach to Entrepreneurship Education
“Many entrepreneurship programmes give children one exciting weekend and call it business education. We wanted to create something that supports a child’s growth over many years,” said Siddique Hills, branch owner and director of Miniboss Business School Dubai.
“Our goal is not to teach children business words they will forget. We help them think independently, identify opportunities, solve real problems and build the confidence to turn ideas into action. Those skills develop through practice, guidance and consistency.”
Siddique Hills, an entrepreneur and education leader, established the Dubai branch to help children develop practical business skills from an early age. The school focuses on building creativity, leadership, teamwork and entrepreneurial thinking in an environment where students can test ideas, learn from experience and confidently present real projects.
Students Build Real Businesses, Not Just Ideas
Throughout the programme, students progress from developing business ideas to building startup projects and presenting them before live audiences. They also become part of an international network of young entrepreneurs through startup forums, business competitions and cross-border learning opportunities.
The school’s mission goes beyond teaching entrepreneurship. It aims to help children develop leadership, confidence and practical life skills that prepare them to contribute to their families, communities and the UAE’s growing innovation economy.
Enrollment is now open for the first student cohorts, with classes welcoming children aged 6 to 14 during the initial intake. Families across Dubai and the UAE can schedule curriculum consultations, visit the campus and learn more about the programme before classes begin on September 12, 2026.
