One of the hallmarks of PBL is creating a sense of authenticity through presentation to an audience. After all, if many people see a project's outcome, students will create something they are proud of, and that lasts longer than any test score or essay grade. True PBL is multi-disciplinary and present outside the walls of a school. To see some of the examples Next students have done in the community, see the NCS Outdoors website created by students in 2024. In English, however, not all projects can be shared easily with the world, which is why we created this website. The navigation bars at the top of the page will take you through a series of real-world projects created by Next Charter School students to highlight their skills in writing, reading, speaking, and media literacy.
