Northwest Academy

"My youngest daughter attended middle school here. A very supportive environment at a crucial age. She was really taught how to study, how to be organized and the joy of learning. Northwest Academy changed the trajectory of her life"

"We love this school for our daughter! The magical combo of arts and challenging academics is turning my free thinker into an interested and engaged student in all subjects. She loves going to school everyday. Her teachers are amazing. It's a very inclusive place, and the downtown campus is teaching her how to confidently navigate in a city."

"NW Academy has been a great experience for both of my children even though they are very different people. The school provides a rigorous academic experience with lots of training in good work habits and study skills while at the same time making the work meaningful for the students. The arts programs provide a safe space for all the kids to try new things and have positive experiences in front of audiences. The close knit community provides a positive and almost family like environment that really allows the kids to grow as learners. I also really love how the downtown campus fosters an appreciation for all the city has to offer as well as teaching independence as my kids have become comfortable using Trimet and even their bicycles to travel to and from school. I think NW Academy provides a fantastic educational experience."

"I am in the Northwest Academy middle school, and I love it. The classes are very challenging, and allow room for creativity. All the students are nice (although some are crazy), and the teachers are brilliant."

"Two Years here so far and we love it, our 8th grader loves it, and she is thriving. Our daughter has always needed to be challenged at school and Northwest has definitely stepped up to the plate. Their curriculum is rigorous, arts programs are wonderful, and the college prep and acceleration possibilities are fantastic. The staff has been great and we have nothing negative to say of the education. This is her third private school and the only complaint I could even think of is the students call their teachers by their first names. Drives me mad. Otherwise amazing school!"
