The Next GED Plus program is the vision of our founder, Steve Dobo. It was created through thoughtful collaboration between school districts and colleges with the goal of creating a more focused path for students to envision their future.

What makes this program different? We’ve created a blended learning environment with the understanding that every student has individual needs. To better capture those needs, Next offers individual learning plans for students to progress at their own pace, while having access to one-on-one instruction to ensure they can be successful. Watch the video below to see our program in action.

Our programs are designed for youth who are not on-track to graduate with a traditional high school diploma. We offer a GED Plus option (ages 16-21) as well as credit recovery toward earning your High School Diploma (ages 14-21). Each of our programs serve different communities and may offer slightly different resources.
