How To Apply

We are now accepting applications for our 2024/25 school year.
Thank you for your interest in applying on behalf of your student to Northwest Academy. To begin, please submit an inquiry so our admissions team will be able to connect with you, and keep you updated on important dates and events. It will also enable you to schedule an Information Session or Family Tour and access the application form. If you have any questions, please contact the Admissions office at admissions@nwacademy.org, or call 503-223-3367 x104. Thank you.
Admission Process:

  • Complete the online Application and submit a non-refundable application fee of $100
