EDUCATION IS EVERYTHING


AND WE’LL PACK AS MUCH INTO YOURS AS POSSIBLE. THAT’S A PROMISE.


OUR PHILOSOPHY: LEARNING SHOULD HAVE NO LIMITS

This is your time to explore, try new things, make mistakes, discover passions,
and explore some more. 

Visit the Duwamish River and learn how its ecology supported ancestral native
people.  Perform for a crowd at some of Seattle’s well-known venues, like the
Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute. Examine the social impacts of
technology, copyright, and data security. 

To be the great problem-solvers tomorrow needs, you’ll need to think
differently.

IT STARTS HERE.

50+ ARTS COURSES

The best problem solvers are creative thinkers, so the arts are a central part
of our academic program. 


82% OF OUR FACULTY HOLD ADVANCED DEGREES

The curiosity is contagious. We’re a community of learners with an insatiable
hunger for knowledge.


1 UNPARALLELED PROGRAM

We’ve crafted a holistic learning experience that allows students to explore as
much as possible and find out how it all intersects.

> In ninth grade I was timid and now that I’m a senior I’m a student leader. I
> think the community environment shaped my personality and prepared me for life
> by teaching me community responsibility and to be inclusive and support each
> other.
> – Keelen, 12th Grade Student, 2023




MEET OUR STUDENTS


8TH GRADE STUDENT

“I’m learning to learn versus to get a good grade and get into a college. The
things I’m learning are interesting, and I know how to do the work not just make
the grade.”


9TH GRADE STUDENT

“Everyone’s so friendly and the whole community is very social justice-minded. I
feel respected.”


12TH GRADE STUDENT

"At Northwest, we’re challenged on a daily basis to question the world around
us, to look past the surface and find the hidden truths. Because of all that
critical thinking and analysis, I have a stronger sense of my own voice and my
own values."
