High school
can be
intimidating.
High school should prepare students for the real world.
As your student transitions from childhood to
young adulthood, you may be wondering how best
to support and engage them in this new season.
Make these years the
best ones yet!
In Equip, your student steps into a Christ-centered environment where they can learn to take responsibility and ownership of their education, be part of a team of students, where they must wrestle with ideas like values, purpose, and direction, and where a coaching approach helps them learn to solve their own problems.

FAQs
How long is the program?
Equip is a 10-month program that starts in August 2023 and runs through May 2024.
Can my student start if they're in 10th or 11th grade? Or do they need to start in 9th grade?
Your student can start Equip in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade! Equip is designed to build over three years if a student starts in 9th grade, but each year is also set up to stand alone so a student can start in any grade and not feel like they missed something.

All your courses are self-paced, but your coach will help you work through the material with your fellow students at a pace that allows you to complete a course each semester.
When do the group coaching calls happen?
Group coaching calls will happen at the same time and on the same day every other week.
