The Program
Built for students who want to get ahead.
A virtual program for students in grades 6 through 11. Every session is led by a student who recently aced the exact subject they teach. Our instructors are 99th percentile SAT scorers with 5s on multiple APs, all bound for NCSSM this fall. You get a different expert each day, and the curriculum is shaped around your student’s strengths and gaps before they ever show up.
5-to-1 student ratio
Small enough that instruction shifts based on who’s in the room.
Rotating specialists
Each subject is taught by a student who recently mastered it. Strong AP and SAT scores in that exact class, fresh enough to remember what was hard.
Personalized from day one
Students fill out an intake form before starting. We read every response and adjust the plan accordingly.
Two Pathways
Not everyone starts
at the same place.
Both tracks push ahead of grade level, but the depth and focus shifts depending on where students are right now.
Foundations
Getting ahead in core subjects before the workload jumps
- Targeted work in math, science, and writing fundamentals
- Building study habits that carry through high school
- Harder material available for students who are ready for it
- First real look at what high school expects
Applied
Close to the decisions that matter, time to prepare for them
- Deeper problem-solving across STEM disciplines
- Standardized test strategy and format familiarity
- Exploring what careers in STEM truly look like
- Early college planning and course selection guidance
Two-week schedule
Two weeks, daily classes.
July 20th to 31st, weekdays only. Your student joins a small cohort and spends two days deep with one subject specialist, then rotates to the next. By day 10, the group has worked through every subject.
Below is an example rotation. The order of specialists may shift between cohorts, but every student covers all five subjects over the two weeks.
What we cover
Six subjects, one program.
Students rotate through every area below. Each session is led by someone who specialized in that subject, not a generalist covering everything at half effort.
Mathematics
Pre-algebra through Algebra II. Covers the transitions into Math I, II, and III that trip up even strong students when they first hit them.
Science
Earth science through biology basics. Taught as a thinking skill, not a memorization exercise.
SAT Readiness
How the test is structured, what it’s really measuring, and how to handle it under time pressure.
Technology and CS
Digital fluency, computer fundamentals, and intro Python logic. Actual skills with practical applications.
Financial Literacy
Budgeting, basic economics, and how money works. The class most schools don’t offer until it’s almost too late.
College Planning
What admissions offices look for, which courses matter, and what to start building now. From people currently doing it.
From sign-up to finish
Four steps and you’re done.
No long contracts. Enroll, tell us about your student, show up, and leave with something to show for it.
Enroll
Reserve your spot. We’ll confirm and send everything you need before day one.
Intake Form
Sent 48–72 hours before day one. Strengths, weaknesses, goals. Short form, but we read and use every answer.
Two Weeks
1–2 hours a day, virtually on Zoom. Rotating subject specialists, with end-of-day emails to parents covering exactly what your student did.
Certificate
Completers receive a certificate and a post-program report showing what they covered and how they grew.
Beyond the two weeks
Not a program. A connection.
Most tutoring services hand you a receipt and disappear after the last session. We do the opposite. From day one through the school year, you’re never wondering what’s happening or where to turn.
End-of-day emails
Every weekday during the program, parents get an email that says exactly what we covered, what your student worked on, and what’s coming next. No vague summaries.
A real progress report
When the two weeks end, you get a full report covering what your student worked through, where they grew, and what to focus on next. Real signal, not a generic certificate.
We stick around
Your specialists stay reachable long after day 10. Questions before a test, stuck on homework, checking in mid-semester. We answer. NextArc is a connection, not a transaction.
Common questions
Everything parents ask before they enroll.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Value at a glance
How NextArc compares.
Two weeks of instruction across five subjects, with verified specialists in a 5-to-1 group, for the price of one private tutoring session. Here’s what families are typically weighing.
Comparison figures are typical market ranges for U.S. families. NextArc is intentionally priced low for our first session, so cost isn’t the reason a motivated student misses out.
