Since 2020, the global pandemic has further exacerbated three of the largest concerns among K-12 districts: learning loss, teacher retention and school culture


The K-12 marketplace is enormous with over 130,000 schools in the US alone


Edtech is now estimated at $127 billion in the US and growing by 17% annually


Technology is required as a learning resource, not just a learning tool


NTC Studios’ annual school subscription model is built to be high-margin, high-growth and high-retention in the domestic and global edtech market
