The Northwest Academy is located on 1130 SW Main St., only steps away from Starbucks, The Portland Art Museum, Powell's Books, Portland State University, and much more.
Each year, NWA's students have the opportunity to visit Ashland, Oregon and to participate in annual spring performances called Club Cabaret (located in The Portland Art Museum) and Esprit (located at the Keller Auditorium). Esprit includes all student talents (dance, acting, singing, writing, etc.), and is a very fun, upbeat performance.
NWA's class sizes cap at eighteen students because NWA's teachers are committed to give each student the attention that he/she needs to succeed. The school's environment is relaxed, where students can call teachers by their first names, and can be themselves in class. If a student has exhausted the NWA curriculum, they have the opportunity to take classes from nearby PSU.
