What if school didn’t just prepare students for exams… but prepared them for life?

That’s exactly what is happening at Don Bosco Technical College. through its partnership with Academy of Entrepreneurs. Together, they are creating one of the most innovative Senior High School experiences in the Philippines, combining social entrepreneurship, leadership, AI, emotional intelligence, and real-world problem solving into the classroom.

In a world being transformed by AI, automation, and rapid technological disruption, traditional education models are no longer enough. Students need practical future-ready skills. They need confidence. Creativity. Leadership. Adaptability. They need to learn how to solve problems and create opportunities, not just memorise information.

That’s why Don Bosco Cebu is now offering an Academy of Entrepreneurs International Certificate program exclusively for Grade 11–12 students.
