Who should sign up?

Our Digital Wellness Academy is tailored for 9-12 year olds. At this age, children are starting to recognize their digital and non-digital personas. They seek more freedom in their screen time choices, often idolize Internet celebrities (like YouTubers), and frequently resist parental controls or restrictions.

Parents & Caregivers: If you are looking to learn how to better model your own digital habits - you can join our upcoming class for adults. Registration is open here.
