Central Coast New Tech High (CCNTH) strives to maintain a rigorous but supportive learning environment intended for students who seek academic challenge and a different approach to education through Project Based Learning (PBL). CCNTH seeks to meet the needs of all students but the only course of study offered is College Preparatory (A-G). As such, we encourage all families to review our Course Catalog before beginning the registration process to ensure that CCNTH is a good academic fit for your student. Please contact us with any questions!
