Who We Are

Started by students, open to all.

NextArc was started by students who had access to great teachers and resources, and wanted to make that available to everyone. Not just the families with connections or the budget for expensive tutors.

We keep the program intentionally affordable and we partner with local elementary schools in Charlotte to bring classroom supplies, books, and STEM experiences to students who need them.


How we work

What the program looks like.

A few things that shape how NextArc runs.

Real experts, real subjects

Every instructor earned strong AP and SAT scores themselves and focuses on one part of our program. They recently went through the exact same classes your student is in right now, and they know what makes a real difference.

Progress you can see

Students start with an intake form and finish with a post-program report. We track what was covered, where they improved, and what to focus on next. No vague summaries.

Accessible by design

The program is fully virtual and available nationwide, and it’s free to attend. NextArc is a nonprofit, and we don’t think cost should determine who has access. We also partner with local elementary schools to support classrooms in our community.


Why we started

The kind of help we wished we’d had.

A lot of us grew up with parents, teachers, or older siblings who could explain things the second time, the third time, however many times it took. Not every student has that. NextArc exists to close that gap, even just a little, by putting students who recently figured it out in a room with students who are still figuring it out.

The program is small on purpose. Five students to one specialist, taught live, with a different expert rotating in for each subject. It isn’t the cheapest model to run, but it’s the format we believe in, and the one we’d send our own younger siblings to.

We also partner with local elementary schools in Charlotte to help classrooms get what they need: supplies, books, and STEM experiences. Those classrooms are where the next generation of NextArc students is sitting right now, and that’s reason enough.


The people behind it

Run by students taking the same courses right now.

Every instructor at NextArc is a current AP or IB student who recently sat where your student sits now. They earned strong scores in the classes they teach and they know what matters most when test day comes.


Community Impact

Direct support for classrooms in our community.

NextArc Learning partners with neighborhood elementary schools to bring supplies, books, and STEM experiences to classrooms in our community.

No applications, no overhead layer. We work directly with teachers to fund the supplies, books, and trips that students need.

Freefor every student

Direct to classrooms

Books, supplies, field-trip costs. Whatever a teacher tells us would help most.

We deliver in person

We bring supplies directly to schools when we can and report back on where the money went.

Local first

We start with elementary schools in our own neighborhood and grow the program as we grow.
