Get to Know Northwest
You and your family are always welcome to visit and engage with us at The Northwest School — attend a Discovery Day, campus tour, student visit day, or give us a call and we’ll arrange a meeting. We will also offer virtual events throughout the year. We look forward to getting to know you and your family!
Our campus tours are designed for the whole family and are available for families considering Fall 2025 entry. Please email the admissions team at admissions@northwestschool.org or call 206-816-6032 to schedule a tour, or for assistance.
Take a virtual walk around our main building to see the classrooms. Visit the 401 E. Pike, which houses our dining hall, theater, gym, rooftop playfield and athletic mezzanine. You can also visit our student dorm and our farm and garden, then take in a campus vista. We’ll be adding the newest addition to our campus, the Summit Building, to the virtual tour later this year.
Each Fall we attend international fairs across the globe,and meet individually with families. The admissions team visited the following cities in autumn 2024:
- Beijing, China
