NTI’s Makerspace offers hands-on opportunities for students to collaborate on designing and building final PBL products.
Supportive Culture
NTI fosters an inclusive asset-based environment designed to make all students feel valued.
Students participate in the Teen Series covering suicide prevention, building healthy relationships, substance use, mental health, and family dynamics.
College and Career Readiness
