NEXT HIGH SCHOOL

NEXT High is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the SC Public Charter School District school district, located in Greenville, SC with about 347 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 31 teachers, NEXT High has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

NEXT High is a public charter high school located in Greenville, South Carolina, that operates with a focus on personalized, project-based learning. Rather than traditional classroom instruction, the school emphasizes a "student-centered" approach where learners engage in real-world applications and interdisciplinary projects. By fostering a collaborative environment, NEXT High aims to help students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership skills that prepare them for success beyond the traditional academic experience.

The school is part of the broader NEXT charter network, which prioritizes small class sizes and strong mentor-student relationships to ensure each individual’s educational needs are met. Its curriculum is designed to be flexible, allowing students to take more agency over their own learning pathways. By integrating community partnerships and a focus on essential life skills, NEXT High serves as an alternative to the conventional high school model, seeking to cultivate innovative and independent thinkers in the Greenville area.
