Learn what it means to be a Wakelet Showcase School!

The Wakelet Schools Program is made up of inspiring schools from around the world; connecting and empowering their communities to achieve amazing results. With over 300 schools in the Wakelet Schools Program, we’re excited to launch the official Wakelet Schools Showcase! 

What is a Wakelet Showcase School?

The most innovative and ambitious schools in the Wakelet Schools Program will be selected to become official Wakalet Showcase Schools.

To date, the standard set by select schools in the Wakelet Schools Program has been outstanding! We’ve seen school communities go above and beyond to bring the power of curation, organization, and collaboration to both educators and students. Showcase Schools will represent the Wakelet Schools Program and will play a crucial role in helping other schools around the world get involved. 

Perks of becoming a Wakelet Showcase School
