 Northlake means seriously fun early education for preschool, kindergarten, and elementary school children. Small class sizes and excellent staffing ratios allow students in our hands-on programs to accelerate a year or more beyond their academic grade levels. At Northlake each child feels valued. The diversity of our staff and students and our commitment to the uniqueness of each child provide a launchpad for critical thinkers who grow to participate thoughtfully in a global community.

TEACHING STAFF
Teaching Credentials

With many years of teaching experience in both public and independent schools, Northlake teachers are WA State certified and hold Bachelors or Masters degrees in Education.

CURRICULUM

To foster their future success in the global community, our curriculum prepares students to succeed according to international standards, to be competitive in countries with different educational systems and higher academic achievement levels than the United States. Our curriculum focuses on core subjects and provides students with a strong foundation that transcends the fluctuating trends in the American public school system.

STUDENT ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

• Over 50% of our graduates matriculate at the top tier independent college preparatory schools in Washington.
• An additional 40% enter district HighCap or gifted student programs.
• Our math teams routinely place first or second in national competitions.
• Students score one to six grade levels ahead of their age groups in writing, math, and science.
(Test Scores)
• We set high standards, and our students rise to meet our expectations.

BENEFITS of an INDEPENDENT SCHOOL

Because we are not part of a corporate system owned by a consortium with high overhead costs and substantial advertising expenses, we devote our annual budget directly to student learning and success. Unlike corporate schools, we tailor our teaching to the individual learning styles and abilities of our students. We are family and a home away from home. We teach focus and stamina and confidence. We model appreciation of diverse cultures, compassion, and caring. Our students form friendships that endure through middle school and high school. Many of our graduates return to volunteer and intern together.

EXTRACURRICULAR PROGRAMS

Extracurricular classes such as Japanese, Spanish, visual art, music (choir, piano, guitar), technology, coding, chess, P.E. and zumba are available to all students at no additional cost and provide a rich learning experience. Foreign language teachers are native speakers and hold teaching certificates in their home countries as well as degrees from U.S. Universities.

AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS

Tuition also includes extended care hours with enrichment activities such as Chess Club or technology projects (until 6 p.m.) for students with working parents. After school programs are taught by teachers who specialize in individual areas of expertise.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS

Sequential lessons and repetition promote academic success. Our programs continue through the summer with continuing and repeated lessons in core subjects along with additional explorations in Science Camp. Students in the public schools lose an average of three months' worth of information over the summer and need to repeat a percentage of their previous year's work each fall. Northlake students attending year-round retain information and maintain a steady progression from month to month and year to year.
