mission statement:
Northwestern Academy, as a project of Northwestern University, aims to be a premiere secondary educational institution for students seeking a new and innovative high school experience. We use a flipped school model so that students can apply their knowledge in a guided environment. We are dedicated to providing a unique and valuable secondary education experience to every Northwestern Academy student.

Annual Preparation Conference
Every school year, on one day in August, we aim to provide not only ongoing learning for our professors, but also look to provide them with motivation and time to prepare their classrooms for the first day of school. Teachers have a multitude of options on which guest speakers to listen to. Among our keynote speakers, we bring in experts in the fields of communication, time management, and technology.
