Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program


Fundamentally we are about preparing students to make a difference in our ever-changing global community. Our economic and business leaders, and educational scholars are calling for an increase in entrepreneurial education to teach initiative, self-regulation, critical thinking, and life-long learning skills among young people. In answering that call, the Nextide Academy K-12 Learning Center was set up with a primary focus to steer the young minds towards innovation and entrepreneurship.

This program has been designed to foster critical thinking, come up with new business ideas and eventually start real companies.

Be a part of our first batch of young entrepreneurs and make history!


Nextide Academy will spearhead and fund the first startup business. Come visit us at our learning center at 221, N 21st Street, Purcellville, VA 20132
