Question 1

Are sessions live or recorded?

Accepted Answer

All sessions are live via Zoom. We don't use pre-recorded content. The value is in the direct instruction and the ability for students to ask questions in real time. Sessions are typically 60–90 minutes, held once or twice per day during the two-week program.

Question 2

What platform do you use?

Accepted Answer

Sessions run on Zoom. Students need a device with a camera and microphone, and a stable internet connection. No additional software is required. Enrolled families receive a Zoom link before the program starts.

Question 3

What if my student misses a session?

Accepted Answer

Missing one or two sessions happens. When it does, we send a session summary covering what was covered that day. Since sessions are small and discussion-based, repeated absences do affect what your student gets out of the program, but a session here or there won't derail anything.

Question 4

What is your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Full refunds are available up to 7 days before the program start date. Within 7 days, your spot can be transferred to a future session but no cash refund is issued. If NextArc cancels a session for any reason, all enrolled students receive a full refund automatically.

Question 5

How does the 30% giving-back program work?

Accepted Answer

30% of our profits go directly to local educational institutions. We start with elementary schools in our community and add more as we grow. We work directly with teachers and principals to fund supplies, books, field trips, and after-school materials. No applications, no overhead layer. Just direct support for the classroom.

Question 6

Is this program only for students in Charlotte?

Accepted Answer

No. NextArc is available to students anywhere in the US. The program runs fully virtually. Our school-funding partners are currently local, but enrollment is open nationwide.

Question 7

Why is the program only $130?

Accepted Answer

We keep the price low intentionally. NextArc is built by students who benefited from access to the right resources and want to make that available to more families. We operate lean, our instructors are passionate about teaching, and we believe cost shouldn't be the reason a student doesn't get ahead. 30% of profits go back to local elementary schools as classroom funding.

Question 8

How many students are in each session?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are capped at 5 students per specialist. This is the core of how NextArc works. Small enough that the specialist knows everyone's name, sees where they're struggling, and adapts to each one. We won't increase that cap to fit more students.
