Northwood is a truly wonderful school. My son is in their special education Pre-K program, and theyre so supportive. When looking for a school, I didnt want him to be expected to change to fit the environment. I wanted the environment to support his growth. Ive found that here. They spend time figuring out what works best for each kiddo to help them meet their full potential. They even have a sensory room that was put together with the help of an occupational therapist for kids that need a break.
My sons teachers have always been nothing short of amazing. They communicate with me about his progress and if he needs help with something in particular, and while of course teaching is their priority they never put that over the well-being of their students.
I wish I went here when I was a child, instead of being bullied by my 1st grade teacher lol. Northwood has a community and environment unlike anything Ive ever seen at a school and it makes me so happy that my son goes here.
