A Boarding Option That Feels Different
Northwest offers a boarding experience inside a real city neighborhood, not a remote campus bubble. Students learn and live in Seattle, giving families a more current, connected, and real-world boarding option.
Serious Academics. Your Own Path.
Northwest is built for students who want academic challenge and creative range. The school’s liberal arts approach supports strong thinking, discussion, and interdisciplinary learning while leaving room for students to explore who they are becoming.
Arts Are Part of the Core Experience
With 50+ arts courses and a strong reputation for arts education, Northwest gives students daily access to creative practice alongside academics. That matters for families who want a boarding school where artistic growth is taken seriously.
Global Perspective Students Live
Northwest’s global story is not vague branding. Boarding life, a diverse community, and the fact that 85% of students study abroad by graduation make global learning tangible in everyday student life.
Flexible Boarding Options
Northwest offers both 5-day and 7-day boarding, giving families more flexibility based on distance, student readiness, and what kind of weekly rhythm works best.
Close Residential Support
Boarding students benefit from a school where adults know them well, academic progress is monitored closely, and residential life includes structure, support, and a genuine sense of belonging.
