Reinvesting in Quality

We're confident and proud to recommend these books based on our experience of what works. As an important disclosure, "affiliate links" are used for many of these books, which means if you click one of our links and purchase the book, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. 

We reinvest 100% of these commissions back into our program to continue funding and replacing equipment and supplies. Reinvesting back into our program helps keep tuition costs low, while ensuring the highest quality materials are available to Equinox youth and families. Please know all of our recommendations are because we genuinely believe they're helpful, not because of the small commission we receive.
