BUSINESS STUDIES

Neurodivergent Thinking is Our Secret Weapon

At The Alternative Learning Hub, we do things differently because different works. Did you know nearly 1 in 3 entrepreneurs are neurodivergent? It’s no surprise – thinking differently is often the secret to success.

For me, understanding business is essential, but it shouldn’t be dull or one-size-fits-all. That’s why, alongside our live Cambridge IGCSE Business Studies classes, we offer our Entrepreneur Hub.

This is where the magic happens:

Students explore their own business ideas
Experiment (some work, some don’t, and that’s all part of it)
Learn what it really takes to run a business.

Many of our students have launched their own side hustles, and we regularly welcome guest speakers to share real-world insights. By the end, students leave with practical life skills, confidence, and the sense that they can take charge of their own path – not just a set of exam results.

Families are responsible for arranging and paying for their own exam entries with an approved examination centre.
