Educational Approach
Our educational approach has five principles at its core. These principles provide a strong foundation for learning.
Individualized Learning
We care about every student and are committed to preparing children for lifelong success. Our Individualized Learning Plan's start with a unique baseline for each student and analyze performance data at regular, short intervals. Teachers and staff tailor lessons and provide support accordingly.
Academic Excellence
As part of the ACCEL Schools network, we strategically apply best practices to our curriculum design, teacher training, and integrated technology to drive continuous gains in academic performance.
Accessible to All
We foster a culture that is reflective of local values and interests, and we are open to all students.
Community Partnership
We are not just located in your community — we are a part of it. We partner with local community and government leaders and parents.
Safe and Caring
We care about the well-being and development of each child. We insist on a secure and orderly school. We address every aspect of security, from building codes and safety procedures to codes of conduct and character education.Results
Our small class sizes and dedication to a well-rounded education make Northwest Academy a great educational environment.
