About Nextreks
Find out who you are before the world asks you to choose.
High school asks students to declare a direction long before they have had a chance to test one. Nextreks gives them the chance first: real Challenges, work worth showing, and a portfolio that travels with them.
Why we exist
The transcript stopped being the whole story.
Employers moved to skills-based hiring years ago. Students are still handed one number to represent everything they can do.
73% to 42%
GPA screening has collapsed as a filter. That is the share of employers still using it, 2019 versus today.
NACE
76%
of job postings request at least one durable skill.
America Succeeds
8 of 10
of the top workforce skills by 2030 will be durable skills.

What we believe
Four things we will not trade away.
Proof over claims
A student should be able to point at something they made, not describe themselves with adjectives. Everything we build works backwards from that.
Reviewed by someone
Work is coached against a rubric as a student goes, and every island ends with a capstone a real person reads. Nothing reaches a portfolio unlooked at.
It belongs to the student
The portfolio lives at their URL and does not expire at graduation. We are building something they keep, not a record we hold.
Built for minors first
Privacy by design, aligned with COPPA and FERPA. Nothing is public unless a student chooses to make it public.
The standard we build on
Licensed from America Succeeds, not invented by us.
Every Nextreks Challenge maps to the Pathsmith™ Durable Skills Framework: 10 competency domains and 74 sub-skills, the same standard behind state Portraits of a Graduate. We license it through our partnership with America Succeeds rather than inventing a private rubric only we recognise.
Where we are
Launching Fall 2026 in Miami.
We open with a small first cohort so we can sit with real students and watch what actually works before we widen. If you want to be in it, get on the list.
