NORTHWEST ACADEMY K-12 PRIVATE SCHOOL

An innovative on-site or in-home private school approach
Keeping the learner's spirit alive!

ABOUT US

What if you could design just the perfect education for your student, what would it look like? At Northwest Academy we truly do put the student and their program first, whether they’re just starting on their journey through school or well on their way.
Dr. Loshbaugh, our schools executive director and cofounder, calls this approach to educating kids, “Designer Education”. The ultimate non-traditional private school experience, that really puts your student at the center of educational needs. We teach to  their specific learning style, differences, and strengths. And, our teachers come to your; at your location or in your home.

Student’s successes or lack of successes should never be determined by what pace a system needs to move. Students should never be expected to adapt their learning styles to “one” type of curriculum or method of instruction. It should always be based on the students needs.

If a student can move quickly through an area of study they need to be allowed that opportunity. Additionally, if they need to take more time to fully gain skill in another area, that needs to be honored as well. At Northwest Academy we understand what it means to be student driven and not curriculum driven.

We work one on one with our students on site or in home. The amount of time we spend  is determined by the unique needs of the student, the students story and family. In some cases our teachers work with students on a daily bases, in other cases we only need to be with the student 2 hours a week. An example of this would be our extension program, for the student that is self-directed. We have students that are only taking one high school course with us. We also have students that are doing one grade level including all subjects. We teach all grade levels, K through 12th grade.  

Enrollment

Enrollment in Northwest Academy is easy. We are open year-round and offer continous enrollment.
If you are a parent or student, the first step is to contact us and schedule an enrollment meeting. Because we are a private school without walls, and work in the home we come to your home for the enrollment meeting. At that time we will discuss your child’s educational needs. We listen carefully, assist families in prioritizing needs, and present several options, at times including other educational resources that may be important for your child to access. Once it has been determined that Northwest Academy is the right solution for your child’s educational needs we do an academic assessment (which encompasses reviewing all previous school academic records), create your child’s program plan and set a start date.

If you are a representative from another educational organization or school , please contact the office for more complete information.
