Application​ ​for​ ​Enrollment Our​ ​goals​ ​at​ ​Next​ ​Charter​ ​School​ ​are​ ​to: ● Ensure​ ​you​ ​earn​ ​a​ ​NH​ ​high​ ​school​ ​diploma. ● Help​ ​you​ ​initiate​ ​a​ ​post-secondary​ ​learning​ ​experience—whether​ ​it​ ​be​ ​college,​ ​vocational​ ​training,​ ​or​ ​the military.The​ ​point​ ​is​ ​you​ ​will​ ​have​ ​a​ ​plan​ ​regarding​ ​what​ ​comes​ ​Next! At​ ​Next​ ​Charter​ ​School,​ ​you​ ​will​ ​be​ ​a​ ​part​ ​of​ ​the​ ​following​ ​ideas: Competency​ ​--​ ​At​ ​every​ ​opportunity,​ ​you​ ​will​ ​be​ ​assessed​ ​on​ ​what​ ​you​ ​know​ ​and​ ​can​ ​do.​ ​Your​ ​achievement​ ​will​ ​not​ ​be determined​ ​by​ ​components​ ​of​ ​effort,​ ​behavior,​ ​attendance,​ ​preparation,​ ​or​ ​time-oriented​ ​deadlines.​ ​Instead,​ ​your​ ​achievement will​ ​be​ ​measured​ ​in​ ​degrees​ ​of​ ​proficiency​ ​toward​ ​mastery​ ​of​ ​competencies​ ​over​ ​time. Learning​ ​is​ ​a​ ​Social​ ​Act​ ​--​ ​Next​ ​will​ ​emphasize​ ​and​ ​promote​ ​the​ ​idea​ ​that​ ​authentic​ ​learning​ ​is​ ​best​ ​realized​ ​within​ ​a​ ​social dynamic.​ ​To​ ​this​ ​end,​ ​individual​ ​classrooms​ ​and​ ​the​ ​larger​ ​school​ ​itself​ ​will​ ​be​ ​community-based,​ ​in​ ​that​ ​both​ ​you​ ​and​ ​your fellow​ ​students​ ​and​ ​staff​ ​will​ ​have​ ​distinct​ ​contributions​ ​to​ ​make​ ​with​ ​regard​ ​to​ ​collective​ ​learning. Process​ ​and​ ​Inquiry​ ​--​ ​Traditional​ ​approaches​ ​to​ ​learning​ ​emphasize​ ​answers.​ ​Next​ ​will​ ​emphasize​ ​questions.​ ​Your​ ​work​ ​as a​ ​student​ ​at​ ​Next​ ​will​ ​be​ ​driven​ ​by​ ​important,​ ​real-world​ ​problems​ ​and​ ​questions. Flexibility​ ​--​ ​Next​ ​values​ ​the​ ​unique​ ​needs​ ​and​ ​offerings​ ​embodied​ ​within​ ​each​ ​student​ ​and​ ​staff​ ​member.​ ​Therefore,​ ​Next refuses​ ​to​ ​adopt​ ​a​ ​“one​ ​size​ ​fits​ ​all”​ ​approach​ ​to​ ​learning.​ ​If​ ​learning​ ​is​ ​to​ ​be​ ​successful,​ ​then​ ​it​ ​must​ ​be,​ ​first​ ​and​ ​foremost, connected​ ​to​ ​the​ ​interest​ ​of​ ​the​ ​learner—You!
