A challenging and vigorous interdisciplinary academic program

Located in Capitol Hill’s Pike/Pine neighborhood adjacent to downtown Seattle, The Northwest School offers a unique college preparatory experience. With a thriving arts program fully integrated into the academic curricula and a rich athletic program amid a welcoming and supportive environment, Northwest offers an experience unique among Seattle-area Independent Schools.

Graduates of The Northwest School attend some of the top universities in the nation and overseas. The school has a national reputation as a vibrant intellectual community and has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence (as well as a Green Ribbon School for Environmental Sustainability!).

Northwest is the only school in Seattle with a coeducational international boarding program, and its great location allows international students to not only gain an excellent education, but also to experience many aspects of culture and life in the United States.
