Your candle stays on your phone.

Open it anytime to explore the resources, or show your Candle at a meeting so a student or parent can scan their own. Your share link stays close at hand.

Your families keep their own.

Each student's candle stays on their phone too. Once you set up your page, it comes first inside their candle, so they can always reach you, and so can the friends they share it with.

Selected for student usefulness

Just resources we believe are useful.

Every resource in Lightway, Gateway and Doorway is selected solely for student usefulness, and placement or ranking in those three doors cannot be purchased. Reserved strategic and sponsored relationships appear only in the Keeper door and are labeled there.

Inside the student's Keeper door

Students choose what they need next.

Once a student opens Keeper, four clear choices keep the experience simple. Keep saves the candle and its story. Share passes it forward. Explore opens the useful destinations. Origin explains where the candle came from.

You do not need to guide every click. Students and parents can return and choose what they need next.
