Niles New Tech Entrepreneurial Academy is a progressive school where students use technology to complete group projects as they would in a professional work environment.

All courses are taught in double classrooms by pairs of teachers who integrate subject content to create challenging projects that are both standards-based and relevant to students' lives. A goal of structuring a school in this way is to teach students the skills necessary to succeed in the 21st century – skills like teamwork, work ethic, media literacy, communication, and time management.

Niles New Tech is a small school located inside Niles High School. As a small school, enrollment is limited to 125 students per grade. Students self-select Niles New Tech and are accepted as long as space is available.
