About NEXT Thus Far

Over the last 10 years NEXT has led a quiet but stubborn revolution in education, replacing classrooms with real life, and factory bells with autonomy. We made learning engaging, relevant, and actually effective. As a result teaching naturally became more meaningful, fulfilling, and (most days) exciting. Thousands of children now own their education, and their life, instead of enduring it.

The Revolution is Growing

We are starting a new Learning Community in Goa built on one non-negotiable idea: Free to Learn, the purest and most advanced iteration of our philosophy, expanded from a pilot at NEXT, Mumbai.

Here, we follow the child, not a curriculum. No adults who believe they know what a child “should” do, or how they should be. Instead, a nurturing community surrounded by adults who cherish what it feels like to be alive and curious. Here, learners are free to drive their own learning and growth, in the real world. Their only responsibility - craft a life worth living.

Younger learners commence this journey in a pure Montessori environment, and design their own journeys as they grow older and more autonomous.

You Might Be a Good Fit If

You are driven by a burning purpose to fix the experience of childhood in the world we live in. You define your own interests and long-term goals, and you expect a resonant and supportive community

You believe in leading, and modelling more than not preaching.

You have thought about and created personalised learning environments and systems to serve and support the child and learner.

You have facilitated learning by doing: real-world projects, hands-on workshops, internships under practising professionals.

You enjoy helping young humans discover their strengths, their growing edges, and the “stuff that actually matters” to them.

You empower learners to examine everything: question it, challenge it, laugh at it, or outgrow it completely.

You guide only with reason, evidence, and rational persuasion: never fear, shame, or ‘because-I-said-so’.

If you are willing to be changed by the young people as much as you change them, if you believe autonomy is built together, not granted from above, then reach out now!
