Introduction

Imagine a school where learning is a joy; where the curriculum is designed to prepare students for a changing world; where everyone discovers the exhilarating chemistry between academics and the arts.

Imagine a school where 70 of 470 students come from many countries outside the United States.

Welcome to The Northwest School, an exuberant place where our challenging curriculum teaches students to discover the connections between historic, scientific, and artistic fields of knowledge. And where our international character makes thinking beyond our own borders a daily reality.

"What I really love about The Northwest School is its philosophical heart. The school's academic standards and opportunities are extremely high, but its core is fundamentally about the growth of students into strong and integrated adulthood. I can't imagine a better place for my sons to have spent this important time in their lives."
