Our Model
Our model expands access and opportunity to scholars by replicating the college experience in high school classrooms across the country.
Students take actual college courses taught by professors from top colleges and universities.
University teaching fellows (college near-peers) Zoom into classrooms weekly to deepen students’ content knowledge and lead discussions on college preparation and success.
High school teachers provide on-the-ground support to scholars and build community.
NEON provides ongoing support and training to teaching fellows, co-teachers, and scholars.
