NEW TECH INSTITUTE

New Tech Institute is a Title I public high school that is part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp school district, located in Evansville, IN with about 302 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 55 teachers, New Tech Institute has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

New Tech Institute (NTI), located on Lynch Road in Evansville, Indiana, is a specialized magnet school within the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation (EVSC). Unlike a traditional comprehensive high school, NTI focuses on a Project-Based Learning (PBL) curriculum, where students learn core academic subjects through real-world, hands-on challenges rather than conventional lectures and textbooks. The school environment is designed to mirror a modern workplace, emphasizing collaboration, critical thinking, and the integration of technology into every aspect of the student experience.

The institute is highly regarded for its commitment to college and career readiness, often partnering with local businesses and organizations to provide students with authentic professional experiences. By fostering a culture of "trust, respect, and responsibility," NTI aims to develop self-directed learners who are prepared for the demands of the 21st-century workforce. Because of its unique educational model and small-school setting, it serves as a distinct alternative for students in the region who thrive in an environment that prioritizes innovation and active participation over traditional rote memorization.
