Expanded Options for College
Does your student know how to prepare for college? A high school curriculum that is tailored to success in college offers many benefits to students. One significant benefit is expanded options when choosing a college. Competitive schools require excellent grades, a variety of personal interests, diverse backgrounds, and rigorous coursework, all of which are available at NexTech High School.
Entry Into School of Choice
If your student dreams to study at a competitive college, a college-prep curriculum in high school is an essential step in that direction. Our guidance counselors help students prepare for early admissions dates and point out any areas of improvement. We strive to create a holistic learning opportunity that embraces diverse views and a variety of learning opportunities.
Scholarship Qualifications
Once your student chooses a college and is accepted, scholarships help them afford a college education with reduced or no debt. Many scholarships require similar requirements as the entry requirement to competitive colleges, so a college-prep curriculum can help reduce college costs for you and your student.
Grand Rapids Promise Zone
The Promise Zone is a program that offers tuition, fees, textbooks, and any other required materials for free at Grand Rapids Community College for any students that graduate from NexTech while living within the city of Grand Rapids. We are currently the only virtual/blended school that qualifies for this program and it is a great addition to what we offer, especially for students who may be the first in their family to attend college.
