Central Coast New Tech High

ARE YOU READY FOR ACADEMIC CHALLENGE & A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO LEARNING?

Coast New Tech High (CCNTH) is a college prep high school in Nipomo, California and a part of the New Tech Network, which has over 200 schools nationwide and in Australia.  It is also a school of choice within the Lucia Mar Unified School District (LMUSD) and admission is open to all SLO and Santa Barbara County students.

CCNTH is a very rigorous learning environment intended for students who seek academic challenge and a different learning approach. Our only course of study is College Preparatory (A-G) and includes a choice of five Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways: 

• DIGITAL MEDIA ARTS
• ENGINEERING DESIGN
• ENTREPRENUERSHIP
• SOFTWARE & SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT
• VISUAL PERFORMING ARTS @ NHS 

It is important to note that LMUSD students must complete/pass three years of mathematics in high school before graduating.  At CCNTH, the only math courses offered are the following, which are all significantly challenging courses, requiring 70% passing scores in assessments to move on to the next course:

• INTEGRATED MATH I, II, III
• HONORS CALCULUS I, II

In addition, students at CCNTH must complete/pass three years of science as part of their college prep experience and fulfillment of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS):

• BIOLOGY
• CHEMISTRY
• PHYSICS

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.
