My favorite part about New Tech is the culture and community. Everybody is here to learn and support you, and because we're a small school, I feel so connected to each and every one of my peers and teachers.

Central Coast New Tech is a school for individuals who prefer guided learning(you teach yourself under the guidance of a teacher) and smaller classes. The community at CCNTH is very tight knit and the teachers are all wonderful
