I have two daughters, both of whom have different personalites and skill sets. They have both thrived there which demonstrates the school's ability to meet the needs of every student. Their emphasis on educating the whole child is very apparent across the interdisciplinary curriculum.

I like the way northwest prioritizes both education and creating a space for student and teacher relationships in order to strengthen our knowledge. Granted, there are many social issues within the school that still needs to be worked onl.
