Impacting the next generation, one positive habit at a time

NTC has effectively educated students through live, all-school assembly performances since 1978. Our customized scripts, performed by two actor-educators, use creative theatre techniques to bring important educational topics to life and connect with students in meaningful ways. Our shows typically focus on four educational points, taught and demonstrated throughout each performance, that are aligned with state and national standards. Performative teaching techniques like call-and-response, student volunteers, moving through the audience and the use of physical props support the educational concepts of each event. NTC programs connect with all kinds of learners, through a variety of teaching styles, to ensure a meaningful experience for each student.

NTC’s Livestream Learning Studio delivers your messaging directly into schools through our user-friendly digital platform. Our diverse cast of dynamic hosts interact directly with each participating classroom and answer students’ questions live from our home studio in Minneapolis. NTC’s virtual programs engage students with academic content through storytelling, humor and creative activities. Livestream programs stream directly into classrooms with no additional equipment or software required and are a great tool to focus your program on specific grade-levels.

NTC’s sponsor-branded print materials align with our livestream events, in-school programs or as standalone educational pieces. Based on educator feedback we know that our printed materials are sent home with students 92% of the time, directly connecting clients to families in their community. Livestream events and in-school programs may include a comprehensive print package, which can also be delivered digitally. An NTC print package can include student playbooks with activities, homework assignments, project-based lessons, parent-teacher handbooks, custom graphic novels or even original chapter novels.
