As another parent who has had children at Northwest Christian Academy for several years, I felt it…read morewas important to share a different and much more accurate viewpoint than "Ginny". The review posted does not match the reality that many of us have experienced, and it includes claims that are either exaggerated and simply not true. It also contains comments that look down on families with lower income, which is prejudiced, entitles and outright UN-Christian. Our school community includes families from every background, and that diversity is one of its strengths. My children have always been treated with kindness and respect. Any time I have heard about student conflict, the staff responded quickly and professionally. The school takes bullying seriously and does not ignore concerns. Suggesting that nothing is done or that the environment is unsafe does not reflect what truly happens on campus. The teachers my children have had are qualified, supportive, and dedicated. I have never seen a situation where someone was teaching a subject outside of their training or credentials. And if they did, it means they have multiple endorsements. Unless you are a teacher, how on earth can you make that call about someone's personal endorcements and qualifications. What an odd thing to assume. Class sizes have been appropriate, and classroom environments are comfortable, safe, as well as managed. My 2 children have never been in a room where students were packed in or unable to learn. The comments about financial aid are especially troubling!! Scholarships and tuition assistance exist so that children from all kinds of families can access a Christian education. Speaking poorly about families who receive help is hurtful and suggests a bias that does not belong in a school review. Financial aid does not increase tuition for other parents, and claiming that it does spreads lies and misinformation. If you really want to have a bias, take a free tour. The school is pretty amazing and offers free tours all the time.

Academic standards are good. It's a small community vs. public schools. The campus has updates and improvements each year. Students are encouraged to walk out their Christian faith on and off campus. Parents are encouraged to get involved. People are imperfect. Kids are imperfect. When there has been issues of discipline, actions have been taken. Check out the campus and staff to see if this is a good fit for your family.

The whole staff is European they do not have staff members or teachers that represent any of the students of color. Students have been in numerous fights they tend to get a harsher punishment as they are students of color versus their European peers. There is systemic institutional racism in this school and lots of bias and it shows. I literally had to tell the principle why we don't use the word slave anymore because it takes away someone's identity and dehumanitizes them that we use the bird enslavement. And she was so ignorant that she was like wow I didn't know. As in her correculum they still call people slaves. They don't even teach African history they just About learning about Plantation life. Which doesn't give the students of color a very good start. Taught African American history these students could be proud that they came from advanced civilizations that had irrigation systems way before Europe. But you wouldn't want to teach that because you only like teaching European ideology and accomplishments.

I come from the San Francisco Bay Area and they barely support the arts. How cool was it to see they have a small theater so that both cast and crew can work in a professional setting. Even just seeing all small posters of past shows made my heart soar knowing that the PNW cares about filling out their students' education by supporting their actors. And not with crappy food up chairs that go back in the closet after the show, but real built I. Theater seats. I think I'm in love.

Our amazing teachers create unique and fun lessons and programs that get kids thinking and learning in hands-on and exploratory ways.
