What Neptune Navigate does

Neptune Navigate, operated by CMC Neptune LLC and headquartered in Tyler, Texas, is an education technology company founded in 2012 by Christina Jontra that delivers online digital citizenship curriculum to K-12 schools and districts. Its core product, Neptune Navigate for Schools, provides ready-to-teach lessons covering cyberbullying, digital footprint, media literacy, privacy, cybersecurity awareness, and related topics across eight grade-level bands (Pre-K through 12 plus staff modules), delivered through a proprietary web-based Learning Management System called the Neptune Navigate Universal Portal. The platform supports single sign-on, SIS-based rostering, automated participation and completion tracking, badges, certificates, and an add-on module called Navigate Proactive Leadership for character-based leadership development. Neptune Navigate also publishes NavAlerts for real-time digital safety notifications and maintains a content marketing footprint including the 'Think Before You Post' podcast and 'Navigate Reacts' video series.

The company operates a sales-led, direct-to-school go-to-market with dedicated Partner Success Managers supporting implementation and renewal. Revenue is generated through annual subscriptions aligned to the school year (August–June), priced at either a $500 or $1,000 base plus $0.20 per user, with payment required in full before LMS access is granted and 60-day advance renewal notices. Neptune Navigate is COPPA, FERPA, and CIPA compliant, and targets primarily US K-12 public, private, and charter schools with secondary messaging aimed at families, athletes, businesses, and churches. On July 8, 2026, CyberNut completed the acquisition of Neptune Navigate, integrating the curriculum with CyberNut's phishing simulation and security awareness portfolio under a stated no-sunset, no-disruption transition plan with curriculum refresh and interactive feature additions planned for the 2026-27 academic year.
