We do things The Northwood Way.
At Northwood, we like to say we do things The Northwood Way. It’s more than a slogan—it’s how we approach everything we do.
That means treating each other with respect, honesty, showing integrity, and celebrating all the different cultures that make our school special. It’s also about making sure everyone feels welcome and included—because here, we’re all in it together.
We operate with the belief that all children are able to achieve a balance of academic success and emotional wellness within a safe and nurturing school environment.
We offer extensive field trips, arts and music opportunities, physical education programming, numerous extra-curricular clubs, sports teams and built-in service!
