About Us

New Technology Foundation™ (NTF) was established in 1999 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working to achieve national education reform with schools that desire to model the Napa New Technology High School™.

To achieve this goal, NTF supports the original NTHS in Napa and helps to maintain its demonstration model status as it continues to innovate curriculum and tools. NTF provides interested schools with training in the methodology, tools and materials as well as access to the experiences and expertise of the NTHS site.

NTF encourages contribution of best practices, curriculum and tools by all network schools in order to build out the curricular materials and tools for grades 9-12 in the Project-Based Learning library. NTF negotiates agreements with all NTHS network schools that transfers ownership of submitted materials to NTF . While the 'right to use' is broadly shared among the teacher, the school, the district, the network and the foundation, NTF hold sole rights to sell, market and distribute the materials.

NTF is a self-sustaining organization that generates sufficient revenues to achieve its vision and mission. Sources of revenue include foundation grants, corporate and individual support, parent and alumni giving programs, fund raising events and revenue from fee-for service.

NTF services are offered to schools on a fee basis.
