Letter from the Head
It is our pleasure to introduce you to our school. We are proud of the culture we have created here, which is designed to respond to the new educational imperatives of globalization, technology, and the development of each child's creative capital. Our school is for families who believe that education must address these imperatives, while preserving essential values from the past.
Our alumni report that they enter college extremely well-prepared for its academic and social challenges. The international perspectives within our curriculum, as well as learning alongside international students from many countries, have taught Northwest School graduates to think globally. The technology interwoven throughout our curriculum has become a natural resource for their future education. They have learned to develop their own creative capital, the ability to see new connections and to have confidence in their discoveries. And living the school's ethic of "Courtesy and Common Sense" has given them a profound respect for themselves and for others.
The Northwest School was founded in 1978 by three teachers who recognized that the quality of a school depends on the quality of its faculty. Our faculty have passion for their subjects, for teaching and for their students. Come visit us!
Ellen Taussig, Head of School
