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.

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.

This school has been an incredible experience for our son. All the way through the high school, his development academically, socially, and artistically has surpassed all expectations. Just an unbelievable school!

BEST SCHOOL EVER!!! It has one of the best arts programs that I have ever seen. The classes are a mix of fun time with your peers and teachers, and challenging courses that gently push kids to do the best job possible. The teacher are some of the best teachers that I have ever seen. They provide the students with the balance important and challenging work and fun and interesting activities! I'm in 8th grade now and I'm definitely coming here for high school! The best education I have ever gotten from a school!

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!
