Completed · July 20–31, 2026
The Summer 2026 program.
Two weeks, more than 50 students, five subjects, and a schedule built around what each family told us in the intake form. This page is the record of how it ran. Our focus now is Individual Tutoring, which is the same two weeks, one-on-one.
This program has finished. Summer 2026 complete
The last session was July 31, 2026. Every student who completed it received a certificate and a written post-program report. We plan to run it again, but dates aren’t set. Add your student to the list and we’ll email you first. For help during the school year, Individual Tutoring is open now.
Intentionally small sessions
Groups were capped at five so a session could adapt to who was there and what they needed that day.
Rotating specialists
Each subject was taught by a student who had recently mastered it. Strong AP and SAT scores in that exact class, fresh enough to remember what was hard.
Schedule built around your student
Students filled out an intake form before day one. We read every response and shaped the schedule around what each student needed to work on.
Three Pathways
Who the program was for.
It was open to every grade, kindergarten through 12th, split into three tracks. All three moved ahead of grade level, and the depth and focus shifted depending on where each student was.
Building Blocks
Starting early with the fundamentals everything else builds on
- Introduction to mathematical thinking and number sense
- Early science concepts made concrete and approachable
- Reading comprehension and written communication basics
- Building the curiosity and confidence to keep going
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
- College planning and course selection guidance
Two-week schedule
The two-week schedule.
The session ran July 20 to 31, weekdays only. Each student joined a small cohort and spent two days with each subject specialist before rotating. Order and pacing shifted with what a group needed. By day 10, every cohort had covered all five subjects.
Below is the rotation as it ran. The order of specialists varied between cohorts, but every student covered all five subjects across the two weeks.
What we cover
What the two weeks covered.
Students rotated through every area below. Each block was led by someone who had specialized in that subject, not a generalist covering everything at half effort. Our one-on-one tutoring covers the same ground, plus English and reading.
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.
Computer Science
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.
How the program ran
How the two weeks ran.
This was the shape of the program from a family’s side. No contracts: enroll, tell us about your student, show up, and leave with something to show for it.
Enroll
Families claimed a spot when applications opened in June. We confirmed and sent everything needed before day one.
Intake Form
Sent 48–72 hours before day one. Strengths, weaknesses, goals. Short form, but we read and used every answer.
Two Weeks
1–2 hours a day, live on Google Meet. Rotating subject specialists, with end-of-day emails to parents covering exactly what their student did.
Certificate
Every student who completed the program received a certificate and a post-program report showing what they covered and how they grew.
Beyond the two weeks
What happened after the program ended.
Most tutoring services hand you a receipt and disappear after the last session. We did the opposite, and still do. Families from Summer 2026 can still reach their specialists, and the same habit carries into one-on-one tutoring.
End-of-day emails
Every weekday of the program, parents got an email saying exactly what we covered, what their student worked on, and what was coming next. No vague summaries.
A real progress report
At the end of the two weeks, every family got a full report covering what their student worked through, where they grew, and what to focus on next. Real signal, not a generic certificate.
We stick around
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.
What families said
What families said about it.
These reviews come from families whose children finished the two weeks. The same instructors now teach our one-on-one tutoring blocks.
All the teachers were so knowledgeable and did an incredible job keeping the kids engaged. It can be hard to make subjects like math, science, and computer science fun for that long, not to mention English and finance, but they pulled it off. The classes were never boring.
We are very happy with the program and truly appreciate the effort and dedication of the instructor. The activities are engaging, well-organized, and provide a great learning environment for children. Our child has had a wonderful experience and always shares positive things about the program. She enjoys the activities, the learning, and spending time with her instructor. We can see that she is happy, comfortable, and excited to participate, which means a lot to us as parents. Thank you for creating such a welcoming and enjoyable experience!

What’s next
What we are running now.
Individual Tutoring is the same two weeks, one-on-one: you book a block with a single instructor and the two of you work out the schedule. Same people, same price, far more time per student. Spots are limited.
Both are free. We’ll never ask your family for payment details.
