The NexGen Approach

Three Pillars. One Mission.

The NexGen Secure curriculum is built on three interlocking pillars. Each one runs from kindergarten through twelfth grade, deepening as students grade level.

Three Pillars of NexGen Secure, Tech Literacy, Digital Citizenship, Cyber Fundamentals

Technology Literacy

Understand the devices, systems, networks, and software that shape the digital world, and how they actually work.

Digital Citizenship

How to navigate the digital world with safety, integrity, and responsibility, from protecting personal privacy to standing up against cyberbullying and online harm.

Cybersecurity

Real-world security skills and the mindset of a defender, building the foundation for a future career in one of the most in-demand fields on the planet.

Three pillars. Every grade level. One connected pathway.

Securing the Next Generation.

How Concepts Grow

One concept. Four levels of depth.

Twenty-eight topics run the full length of the curriculum. Each one is introduced in terms a kindergartener understands, then returned to with more depth as students are ready for it.

The concepts grow as they do.
