About Us

Hello! We're Glynnis, Jennifer, Ethan, Ananya and Aarushi, and we're the cofounders behind Branch Out.

As students from North America, ranging from grades 10 to 12, we've grown up around different schooling systems. Some of our team members go to in-person schools, one of us is homeschooled, and we've all experiences online learning at one point or another. But there is one concept that we've all noticed, that isn't offered in most schools.

Guidance.

Most students spend 6 to 8 hours at school, then another 2 hours or more at home finishing assignments and studying for tests. We spend almost 50 hours of our week simply trying to outrun the others. But while schools are supposed to be a place to learn, we noticed that sometimes studying was just that much harder, or gaining opportunities was just a little bit out of our reach. 

It's not only a matter of experience, but also of luck. Many of us are not dealt the same cards at birth, but why should we let that stop us? This is how Branch Out came about - a way to take notes, a way to fill the gap, a way to give you an edge against the others during the school year.

Our workbooks are expertly engineered to help you unlock the full potential of your extracurricular investments, whether you're navigating internships or embarking on a productive summer journey with our first two models. Each workbook is filled with incisive, reflective questions, strategic organizational templates, dedicated note-taking sections, and invaluable outreach resources—everything you need to amplify your experience and achieve outstanding results. Both initial models are available online and for physical pre-orders. Stay tuned for a forthcoming lineup of new notebooks designed to maximize insights from summer jobs, volunteer programs, and other extracurricular activities!

We're so glad you came to check us out, and we hope you enjoy your stay!
