Our mission is to help atypical profiles from the least privileged categories to progress, succeed, set a course and arouse their ambition. Entrepreneurship is an opportunity and a way to integrate into the professional world; learning and personalized support increase their chances of achieving their goals and give meaning to their future. The entrepreneurial school is conceived as a global system. It integrates young future entrepreneurs for 3 years, with a double objective: to develop one's own activity step by step and to graduate with a bachelor degree.

Mission: access to employment and integration into the economic world

Target: those who want to become an entrepreneur, grow and build themselves, "get out of it" whatever their social, economic and educational environments.

Resources: teachers, coaches, committed partners who are convinced that they can reduce the social divide by working for a better equality of opportunity

Means: a unique blended system over a long period of time, reassuring, safe, original and inclusive for people with unusual backgrounds, far from higher education.

“L’Ecole Entrepreneuriale” is the commitment of a leading business school, promoting equal opportunity by exploring a unique alternative path. It joins the French concept of “micro-lycée”, deployed in some high schools, and completes their entrepreneurial discovery scheme. All the projects deployed are stages in the acquisition of skills and knowledge useful for the success and integration of each student in the business world. https://youtu.be/H3v1a-TVfrQ

The blended learning program allows us to offer students varied and gamified training content in order to encourage their involvement and motivation. Face-to-face courses are complemented by remote self-study modules, accessible on our LMS Crossknowledge, at any time. These modules are composed of several types of multimedia resources (videos, off-the-shelf training sessions corresponding to short e-learning modules, summary sheets, practice sheets, quizzes, readings...). They can also consult off-the-shelf modules on other platforms.
All of these resources help students assimilate knowledges, improve their skills and go further in their learning.

With 14,800 students, KEDGE is responsible for future generations. Sustainable and inclusive development is at the heart of the school's vision, with a strong focus on the future. KEDGE is determined to train and empower "positive changemakers" who can create the worlds of tomorrow and build a better future.
The school joined the Global Compact initiative in 2005, and became a pioneer of social and environmental responsibility. Since 2015, KEDGE has aligned its approach with the United Nations' international programme: the Sustainable Development Goals. In 2019, we received the Sustainable Development and Social Responsibility label for higher education (SD&SR label).
In 2021, KEDGE adopted its 2025 strategy in line with this long-term commitment: sustainability and inclusiveness will be two of its five key pillars and the school is committed to being an original, sustainable and inclusive school. Therefore, KEDGE commits to:
being a creative, adventurous and flexible school which is driven by innovation and experimentation.
engaging with its stakeholders (students, employees, teachers-researchers, partners, etc.) through an openinded approach to the future.
contributing to the social and ecological transformation of higher education along with other schools.
For the past 15 years, an annual report has been published on the progress of all our stakeholders' actions: the Sustainable Development Report (https://student.kedge.edu/about-kedge/csr/sustainability-report-and-publications-kedge).
