NTC is a premium provider of educational programming with operations in the U.S., Australia and New Zealand. We work directly between schools and clients to promote beneficial behaviors and life skills to students in grades K-12 on a local, regional and national level. Since 1978, we have formed connections and helped develop relationships between thousands of schools and corporations, nonprofits and governmental organizations.
NTC’s award-winning programs add immense value in fostering community outreach for our clients, providing measurable connections to your community. By connecting with NTC, clients become more than brands and are instead seen as advocates in the community. The impact of our work is validated by third party evaluations and hundreds of favorable testimonials from clients, administrators, teachers and parents. Although students are the initial recipients of NTC’s educational programming, the students’ parents are often the primary target audience. We see a Trickle Up™ effect from our programming, in which students pass along beneficial behaviors and influence the participation of family decision-makers that comprise our clients’ customer base.

Our programs are free for schools and are customizable to accommodate specific messages for clients. Through formats including live performance, in-class discussion, graphic novels, print curriculum, and digital games and activities, we present topics such as health and wellness, STEM disciplines, energy conservation, safety, financial literacy, water and environmental stewardship in ways that engage and empower students. In doing so, we are helping our clients to be forces of change for students, parents and communities.
