I do expect to encourage him to engage in competitions like science fairs and Math Olympics, but my experience with those is that they are fun, yield good discipline, and the team activities are just as good at developing team skills as any sport.
Funny how many billionaires are out-there without an MBA.
> Of the top 100 people listed by Forbes as the world’s richest, a grand total of 16 have MBAs. The highest-ranking MBA is Michael Bloomberg at number 11

The OP said "business education", not MBA. That article points out that a number of the top 100 richest who do not have a MBA do have a bachelor's degree in business administration (e.g. Warren Buffet) or dropped out of business school (e.g. Steve Ballmer). So it's not as cut and dried as that.
MBAs seem mostly centered on the US (some in Europe, but much less in Asia) business experience. I haven't noticed that it's made the US much more successful, but it is important to have the MBA tool set to fairly get money out of the US banking/venture system.
In other places the business might hire a CFO to do the money-work rather than making them CEO or requiring it of your VPs. So although an MBA might be useful in many business contexts (especially in the US), I don't think id make it part of STEMB.
Also, business is just not interesting for some people. I am one of them and I'm glad I wasn't made to agree with something I don't believe in, in order to be what I do believe in.
