Our mission

From an early age, children are taught to recognize risks, make responsible decisions, and safely navigate the physical world.

We believe their digital lives deserve the same intentional preparation.

We do this by integrating three essential areas of learning:

  • Area 01 Technology Literacy

    Understanding the devices, systems, and connections that shape everyday life.

  • Area 02 Digital Citizenship

    Navigating online spaces responsibly, recognizing risks, and making informed decisions.

  • Area 03 Cybersecurity Fundamentals

    Building practical security knowledge, developing technical skills, and exploring future career opportunities.

Taught as one connected K–12 learning experience.

Built for education

A structured approach to K-12 digital readiness.

Students build from foundational technology skills to responsible online behavior and real-world cybersecurity experience, with each stage preparing them for the next.

K–2
Foundations

What technology is and how everyday devices are used.

3–5
Connections

How devices work, communicate, and connect to the internet.

6–8
Digital Citizenship

How to navigate online spaces safely, responsibly, and with awareness.

9–12
Cybersecurity and Careers

Practical technical skills and early exploration of future career pathways.

Built around the CYBER.ORG K–12 Cybersecurity Learning Standards, developed with support from CISA, with 9–12 career pathways drawn from the NIST NICE Workforce Framework.

How it works

A connected learning experience built around the needs of students, teachers, and school administrators.

A guided environment where students build practical digital skills and see their progress take shape. A complete classroom experience that helps teachers manage learning, understand student progress, and grow alongside their students. A school-wide operational view for understanding usage, managing the account, and supporting a stronger security foundation.
  • Immersive, self-paced labs challenge students with realistic scenarios, while built-in guidance and hints help them continue independently.
  • Assigned pathways and open exploration give students a clear learning direction, with access to additional courses when enabled by their teacher.
  • Skill-level progress tracking helps students recognize their strengths, explore new interests, and discover potential career pathways.
  • Age-appropriate experiences adapt across K–2, 3–5, 6–8, and 9–12, with dashboard designs tailored to younger and older learners.
  • Badges, certificates, and titles recognize achievement and give students meaningful milestones to work toward.
  • Classroom community and shared progress help students stay connected to the learning happening around them.
  • Flexible classroom pathways make it possible to assign individual lessons, hands-on labs, complete pathways, or open access to the course library.
  • Automatic classroom insights show student progress and class activity as students work, without anything to record by hand.
  • Guided student experiences provide built-in support and hints, helping students work through challenges without depending on the teacher for every answer.
  • Full lab previews let teachers experience each activity for themselves before assigning it to their class.
  • Printable guides and lesson plans support classroom preparation, instructional planning, and the teacher’s own understanding.
  • Centralized classroom management brings classes, rosters, assignments, and student activity together in one place.
  • School-wide visibility provides a current view of teachers, classes, and recent activity.
  • Subscription and seat tracking shows how the school’s account is being used and how many student seats are occupied.
  • Teacher and classroom oversight makes it easier to manage the program as school needs and staffing change.
  • Account, billing, and renewal support keeps important subscription information and the NexGen Secure team within reach.
  • Practical IT security guidance covers phishing, MFA, privacy, incident response, and other school cybersecurity best practices.

What it is for

Four things this is built to produce.

A student who has been through the pathway should leave it different in four specific ways. These are the four the curriculum is designed around.

  1. 01

    Recognition

    Seeing a risk for what it is while there is still time to act on it, rather than afterwards.

  2. 02

    Judgment

    Deciding deliberately in the situations that have no obvious right move — which is most of them.

  3. 03

    Confidence

    Treating technology as something that can be understood and questioned, not merely operated.

  4. 04

    Direction

    A concrete early view of where cybersecurity leads as a career, years before a student has to choose one.

Stated as intent. NexGen Secure is early, and these are what the pathway is built to produce rather than results we are claiming to have measured.

Where to start

Built for every part of the learning community.

01 Schools & Districts

A consistent approach, not a patchwork.

How NexGen works in a school, from first class to day-to-day running.

 02 Teachers

No cybersecurity background required.

Lesson plans and teaching guides come with every pathway.

 03 Parents & Families

What your child is actually learning.

How the platform works, and how student privacy is handled.

 04 Students

You investigate. You decide. You solve.

What the labs are like, and what you earn along the way.
The NexGen Secure experience

Cyber education belongs throughout K-12.

If that is the case your school or district is already trying to make, we would like to hear what you are working with — the year you are starting from, the standards you answer to, and what is missing.
