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.

  • All children are capable of learning at high levels if they are taught by caring and skilled educators, challenged by an engaging curriculum, afforded adequate time and held to ambitious standards;
  • Opportunities for quality learning must be extended to all children in a diverse, equatable, and inclusive manner;
  • Substantial improvements in student performance can be achieved on an on-going and cost-effective basis.
