Letter from the Head Mission, Philosophy & Values What Is an Independent School? Diversity at NWS Accreditation Contact Map & Directions

The Northwest School is accredited by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools (NAAS) and the Pacific Northwest Association of Independent Schools (PNAIS), and we are approved by the Washington State Board of Education. Every seven years, we renew our accreditation with PNAIS through an intensive self-study and site visit by educators from peer institutions.
