 * The Northwest School Building**

The Northwest School celebrated its 25th year as a school and the 100th year of its building's history in 2006. The 100-year-history of The Northwest School building has been used for different educational institutions since it was built in 1905. The building was first used by the Seattle School District for 70 years. For the next 10 years, the building was renamed as the Seattle Central Community College and then as the Summit School, which was named after the street right next to the building. In the year of 1980, The Northwest School was founded as a private institution with international education.

The school's construction project was was finished during the recent summer of 2006; adding a new portion to the main building to expand the learning space with new classrooms, a dance studio, and a new library and computer lab. At the same time, the school also finished remodeling classrooms and bathrooms in the main building.

The first time seeing the The Northwest School's building, you will realize that the school is pretty small compared to many other American schools you might have seen through many media sources. However, the school is very closely located near the city of Seattle that it will give you chances to gain diverse experiences. The school is leveled into four different floors and there are stairs that connect each floor at both yhe north and south parts of the building. As shown in the picture, the school is painted in a color of white with a little bit of yellow, and there are some inner and outer parts of the building composed of old bricks that enable you to sense the building's 100 years of history.
