Northwest Passage High School

I was a student at NWPHS for 4 years (freshman-senior) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The teachers all made a genuine effort to connect with the students and worked with them to create the best environment possible. The majority of learning was through project based which I found to be a much better learning style for myself. Every student is different in how they handle project based learning, but I know that it was extremely beneficial for me in helping create leadership and problem solving skills, as well as independence.
I think the real secret to success at NWPHS is to take advantage of its opportunities. I was able to participate in two MAAP STARS competitions, go on multiple expeditions both in and out of state, and even took a trip to England in my senior year.

An absolutely fantastic school based all around project based learning. All of the staff are super friendly and helpful. The students here are also very kind. The school is small so you really get to know them quickly. If you go here or plan to go here dont be afraid to ask questions to the teachers or student ambassadors.

I was a student at NWPHS and the whole time i was there, they helped me come out of my shell. I was shy and wouldn't really talk to anyone unless i knew them, but now i talk almost none stop.
They have also helped me out with my learning disability. When my advisor could tell i was frustrated, she said that i can take a little break, then come back and finish it.

If you have kids that are more hands on, then North West Passsage is the place.
Love ya NWPHS.

Project Base Learning is the perfect approach to education for my child. Thank you Northwest Passage High School!

An amazing school with unique twist on learning.
