Scott Center for Social Entrepreneurship

All schools locally and globally will have social entrepreneurship as a core subject. The Scott Center empowers learners to engage deeply in complex challenges locally and globally. Created by Hillbrook School in order to better meet our vision - to inspire children to achieve their dreams and reach beyond themselves to make a difference in the world, the Scott Center ignites the changemaker in all students, nurturing the skills and mindsets to turn ideas into impact. In partnership with educators, social impact leaders, and entrepreneurs, the Scott Center seeks to cultivate a collaborative learning community that applies the best practices of social entrepreneurship. The Scott Center believes that building an entrepreneurial mindset requires on-going engagement with the six pillars of entrepreneurship education: design, story, civics, systems, finance and agency. Experiences both on and off campus deepen our connection to communities, push us to ask big questions, and imagine our roles in creating/shaping a more just and equitable world. Through the work of the Scott Center, students gain the confidence to answer and act upon our two guiding questions, What matters to you and what are you doing about it?
