About our school:

The Northwest School offers students a challenging intellectual experience grounded in vigorous study and interdisciplinary learning. Our liberal arts education combines an integrated Humanities program with open-ended scientific lab work and arts classes in every discipline. Core to our education is the development of thoughtful, humane world citizens who are critical thinkers, creative problem solvers and effective communicators.
