Real World Work Experience
Our current education system fails to provide young people with real world work experience. At WEquil Academy, everything our students learn is for the purpose of sharing it with others and adding value to the world.
Why Wait?
get real work experience through adding value to the world
Present Your Work
Creating value is only half the battle. When doing something real you also need to know how to communicate your work and yourself to others. At WEquil Academy students practice public speaking and communication every week!
Share with the world
Adults don't get grades. In the real world it's hard to know if what you've created is valuable or not. This is why students at WEquil Academy share their creations with the world to get feedback.
Iterate and Improve
Meaningful creations are never done or perfect. We believe one of the most critical skills to learn is how to iterate and improve upon your work and evaluate when to move on to something new.
