Northwood Portrait of a Graduate

The Northwood Academy Portrait of an 8th Grade Graduate outlines the knowledge, skills, and character traits we intentionally develop in every student by the time they leave our school. We want parents to know that a Northwood graduate is not only strong academically, but also confident, compassionate, and prepared for high school and life beyond the classroom. Our students master core subjects and learn how to apply their learning in real-world situations, think critically to solve problems, and communicate clearly while working collaboratively with others. Just as importantly, they grow into respectful, ethical individuals who show kindness, integrity, and a commitment to contributing positively to their community. Above all, we aim for every graduate to leave Northwood as a curious, independent, lifelong learner who is ready to take on new challenges with confidence and purpose.




Mission Statement

Northwood is a comprehensive learning sanctuary that educates and supports the whole child. We achieve this by working as a highly qualified team, that delivers collective knowledge, creativity, and real-world learning experiences required for our students to become successful lifelong learners.

Vision

Northwood will produce marketable students who recognize and embrace positive options. Northwood believes that:

  • 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.
