Visit Northwest
You and your family are always welcome to visit and engage with us at The Northwest School — attend a Discovery Day, campus tour, student visit day, or give us a call and we’ll arrange a meeting. We will also offer virtual events throughout the year. We look forward to getting to know you and your family!

- Meet our Head of School, division directors, and other members of the community
- Learn about our engaging and challenging academic program
- Find out what makes our programs special
- Enjoy a taste of the Dining Program
- Have an opportunity to connect directly with faculty during a Q+A fair
