Introduction

Dwi Emas International School stands as the country’s first entrepreneurial international school, redefining what it means to prepare students for the modern world. In an era shaped by artificial intelligence and rapid automation, the school recognizes that traditional academic excellence alone is no longer enough—students must also develop an entrepreneurial mindset to truly thrive. The campus delivers a robust global education following the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and Cambridge IGCSE, supported by top-tier facilities including an indoor swimming pool, a full-scale gymnasium, specialized computer and science laboratories, and dedicated creative spaces. Yet, what truly distinguishes Dwi Emas is its commitment to merging rigorous academics with practical, real-world business experience. At the core of Dwi Emas is the proprietary Powerpreneur Programme, where students as young as Year 1 step into the role of founders to build and run real, profitable businesses mentored by active entrepreneurs. Moving beyond traditional exams, the curriculum uses gamification, public pitching, and hands-on coursework to instill vital future-proof skills—cultivating an enterprising mindset of resilience and agility, teaching practical cash-flow management and financial literacy, and equipping students to master branding and market their ideas effectively.
