Find Your Truest Direction

We’re Glad You’re Here

Welcome to The Northwest School, where you’ll be challenged in ways that stretch your worldview and deepen your self-understanding. By the time you graduate, you’ll be well prepared for wherever your journey leads. And no matter where you go next, it will be with confidence, integrity, and purpose.

Our interdisciplinary curriculum will teach you to read between the lines and see the relationships between subjects and will provide you with a strong academic foundation. Thriving arts, athletics and outdoor programs as well as a welcoming and supportive environment will round out your academic experience. We believe this holistic approach to learning transforms students into thoughtful citizens who understand the larger forces at play and have the tools and tenacity to work toward a better tomorrow.

Make Friends Locally and Globally

We’re the only independent school in Seattle that offers an international boarding program. As an international student, you’ll experience many aspects of culture and life in the United States. As a domestic student you’ll build lifelong friendships with students from around the world.
