Our Approach

Hands-on projects that spark curiosity and build real skills.

Core Learning

Students collaborating around a table covered with blueprints and laptops in a bright classroom.

In Project NEXT, students earn credits in core subject areas, including AP and Makerspace options -- however, most of their learning is embedded within project experiences, reflecting real-world problem solving.

Students visiting a local business, observing professionals at work during a job shadow.

Mentorship

PN students build strong relationships with teachers who support their growth. With 3-4 contact hours daily with their core PN-teacher team, students get to go deeper with their learning and mentorship.

Every PN project asks how we might learn content through real-world applications. PN students partner with area professionals and businesses to explore their learning beyond the walls of the classroom.
