Entrepreneurial learning is a focus of the co-curricular program. The Student Metrepreneurship Club is a co-curricular activity where students work in groups under teachers and the SMC to run clubs as if they were their own businesses, including promoting activities, creating and selling products, and raising funds.

Learning by doing is emphasized as students run mini enterprises and showcase their work at celebrations and events.
