WeApp

We.APP Speak With Purpose (SWP) is the only public speaking program incorporated into the school day with the purpose of integrating arts education with student voice to develop independent learners with self-authored identities. SWP adapts to the needs of each student by training diverse teaching guides to co-teach alongside classroom teachers to implement a culturally responsive and relevant project-based learning (PBL) curriculum.

Our goal is to reimagine classroom learning by collaborating with teachers and students to guide their education using student agency, collectivism, and voice to nurture brilliance, imagination, and leadership.
