Welcome to the Northwest School in the center of Seattle!! We know that you are excited about studying abroad. Meanwhile, you might be worried about leaving the place where your family and you have lived more than ten years. Through this website, we are trying to inform anyone unfamiliar with the school about all the details. We are here to help you get through the hardest part. This website will be a guide for you and help you understand more about NWS and the city of Seattle. We mainly divided the website into six big categories such as The Northwest School, Living Arrangements and Options, The City of Seattle and Culture Shock. Under each link, we included more detailed topics. It is your decision whether to come to the NWS or not. We sincerely hope that you understand and know more about the school before making a decision. Feel free to ask further questions or concerns, our website is always open. This Northwest website is totally written by students at the NWS from their own perspectives. Let’s explore an entirely unknown country and the school environment. We hope you would enjoy the NWS website and see you soon!
