Programs: The northwest school is an independent, day and boarding college preparatory school, serving 500 students in grades 6-12. Founded in 1980, it is the only co-ed boarding school in seattle, with fifteen percent of its students coming from countries around the world. Its interdisciplinary curriculum of humanities, arts, and sciences prepares students to think critically, act compassionately, and make a positive impact on the world. A core philosophy of the school is to educate students representing the spectrum of socio-economic diversity reflective of the greater seattle area. To further this goal 79 students were given substantial financial aid which enabled them to attend the northwest school.
