Membership Benefits?
WEquil School is an exclusive community with members that appreciate our mission and share our core values. Educators, parents and students at WEquil School believe in the importance of providing a caring environment where students can share their authentic selves and collaborate without fear of rejection or failure.
Community: Members of WEquil School connect and collaborate every day, locally and online through learning pods, clubs, classes and participating microschools that relate to their interests and individual needs.
Technology: WEquil App is designed to help students cultivate their creative intelligence through the process of creation. These portfolios showcase your students ability to leverage technology to document your learning journey, create value for the world, connect with others and discover your personalized success.

We recommend parents and students with interest in our full-time program, begin as members so they can find out for themselves if WEquil School is right for them.
Full-Time Program Benefits
WEquil School also offers a full-time program with a strong emphasis on real world project-based learning. This program has been largely unchanged since our founding in 2020. Only members have the option to become full-time students. Here are a few of the benefits we offer our full-time students.
Dedicated Coach: Each full-time student is free to choose their project-based learning coach (i.e. "Coach) and change their Coach as they wish. Coaches work with students in Pods of 3-5 students, typically of similar age and maturity. Our Coaches are professional teachers who have passed a background check, and are trained in our learning philosophy.
Weekly Process: Full-time students are provided with daily guidance and instruction through their Pods, our Math Program, and additional Clubs and Classes for which they can pay for with credits they purchased upon becoming a full-time student. Each week, our Coaches help students set goals on Monday to be completed by Friday. These goals typically include a minimum goal of one project a week.
Building Confidence: Our students learn to become responsible and self-directed very quickly through our weekly process. Through creating something meaningful young people are motivated to push themselves and recognize the impact they can have on the world.
Skills for the Future: We cannot predict what the future will look like. However, we can equip young people with skills that we know will empower them to find success no matter the environment. Skills such as: learning how to learn, collaboration, public speaking, execution, setting goals, effectively using technology and much more.
Project-Based Learning: By applying knowledge we have found that students acquire a deeper knowledge of subjects because their real-world applications are self-evident. Students also benefit from the natural multi-disciplinary as the process of creation integrates many skills such as writing, public speaking, and use of technology like Google Docs, spreadsheets, video editors, and digital art tools, and programming languages.
Personalized to Each Individual: Our process adapts to each individual's strengths, interests and passions. Helping them leverage what makes them unique to add value to themselves and others.

Testimonials
“My two boys joined WEquil School during the pandemic. Their first project was a comedy video called, "How to Annoy Your Brother!" It was the first of many. At WEquil I felt so welcome despite being from a small town in North Dakota. Sumay even interviewed me! My boys still create projects at WEquil School in the evenings and weekends despite going back to public school. Thank you for bringing us into your community!”
Zaynab, Parent
“During the pandemic I discovered WEquil School after watching Sumay's interviews on YouTube. Since then I have come to view Sumay and her sister Aila as two of my best friends. They helped me learn to make money so that now I can provide a good life for my family in India.”
Abhinav Madke, Student
“WEquil has been great for my daughter! She has been excited about learning and sharing what she learns with others. She's learning how to use tech tools in a responsible way, and building her confidence at the same time.”
