Student Shadow Visits

Student Shadow Visits

As part of the inquiry/application process, your student will spend a day at Northwest Academy visiting academic and elective classes with a host student. It’s a great way for students to get to know the school from the inside!

Schedule your shadow day online via the admissions portal, or by contacting us at admissions@nwacademy.org.

On the day of the visit, your student will attend classes with their host for a full day (9:00 AM – 3:50 PM).  We will do our best to match your student with a host who has similar interests or a schedule that suits your student’s interests.  When scheduling the visit, please provide any information that you think we should consider.

Already got your visit scheduled?  Here is a permission slip to bring on your student’s visit.  We’ll email you a few days in advance of the shadow day with more information.  Have a great visit!
