Learn how Jamie is achieving success through this recognized educational framework.
Jamie Arnold does not attend a regular school and is taking a different approach to learning. This unique path focuses on areas that are important to Jamie, helping him develop skills and experiences that will ultimately give him a head start in life.
To ensure that this approach is both responsible and meets the expectations of local authorities, Jamie's education is structured around the highly recognizable Duke of Edinburgh Awards framework. This approach ensures Jamie receives a well-rounded and enriching education at home.
Jamie will work towards achieving his GCSE Maths qualification within the timeframe of the Duke of Edinburgh Awards. This structured approach allows him to set measurable academic goals, develop self-discipline, and work consistently towards success.
Jamie will engage in a variety of courses related to Business and Enterprise, including:
Beyond formal courses, Jamie will gain hands-on experience from a local businessman who has owned several chip shops. This mentorship will provide Jamie with insight into the full operation of a small business, including front-of-house workings, cost structures, business responsibilities, legal requirements, and profit margins.
Jamie will also work directly on several business projects, two of which—Kickups.com and ParkrunPro.com—are centered entirely around his involvement. These projects will give Jamie the opportunity to learn business planning, marketing, and operational skills firsthand.
Health and Fitness are a significant focus for Jamie, representing both an interest and a potential career path. The main areas of concentration will be Running and Football, with many associated goals, challenges, and milestones requiring self-discipline and commitment.
Park Runs will play a major role in Jamie's program. He will document his journey as he builds and follows a long-term fitness plan to achieve running-related challenges, including:
Football will play a major part in covering several areas of the framework as Jamie will play a big role in the development of Kickups.com. Jamie will be creating online training videos and will be involved in content creation, video editing, and social media promotion of this content.
One of Jamie's monumental tasks will be completing 1 million kickups in 100 days. This project will focus on real-life experiences such as coordination, communication, and planning.
