Pod Class Overview
Who is this for?
This is intended for students currently doing remote learning, a hybrid mix of remote and in person learning or children that are home-schooled. For a price that is around 50% of private education, children receive 100% of instructor’s attention and a tailored academic program.
Why Next Generation Startup?
We stand out because students and parents have a voice in the decision making of topics covered in the students’ academic program. Children actually get to explore themes they like, are curious about, and learn the math, science, and technology behind them. What greater incentive for learning!
Our pods are run exclusively by VERY highly qualified instructors. Our experience and training helps push students ahead of their grade level so they can either feel very confident in their current classes or qualify for higher level classes or schools than they’d otherwise be able to attend. That is the reason we guarantee increasing your student’s abilities by at least a grade and a half during the academic year for a fraction of what others charge for the same service.
Are you flexible on hours?
Of course. We are more than willing to work around what is best for you and your family so please let us know what might be most beneficial for you and we would be more than willing to be as accommodating as possible, including reducing the cost of enrollment when appropriate.
If you are enrolling for the hybrid model, the cost will be $115 for half days or $220 for full days if you enroll for the monthly membership package and $125 for half days or $240 for full days if you choose the weekly model. You can choose anywhere from 1-4 days a week using this model and we are always here to answer any questions you may have.
Our mission
We offer parents the unprecedented opportunity to have highly qualified educators helping students put their best foot forward this academic year, pushing them to reach their potential and challenging them intellectually. The pod class structure allows students to thrive, and work with academic coaches that provide high quality instruction and have a proven track record of pushing students ahead in their course work.
In addition to the coursework that is provided by schools, additional material is provided to help supplement your child’s curriculum including IXL for math, language arts, science, social studies and other subjects. Instructors provide educational manipulatives designed to help students better understand challenging topics.
Pods will have a maximum of 6 students, to ensure social distancing protocols can be easily followed, and are held on locations around the city.
If you have questions about signing up or would like to set up a private program for your children contact us through our info request page, by emailing info@nextgenerationstartup.com. This will be considered a subscription service that will be prorated for different weeks and months a child is signed up for. We look forward to hearing from you!
