Because of our close proximity to cultural institutions and colleges (not to mention an assortment of food carts!), our teachers are able to expand classroom instruction with field trips to museum exhibits, lectures and films, and theater and musical performances. Our students quickly become savvy downtown citizens, and many become expert navigators of Portland’s public transportation and its bike-friendly environment.
Northwest Academy is proud of what it brings to Portland’s downtown milieu and its unique place as a combined middle school/high school program in the heart of Portland’s arts, culture, and college corridor.
