The quality of academics are extraordinary at NWC, especially in comparison to public schools. I feel that I was pushed at school, but always offered many resources to help me with the challenge. Because of the smallness of the school, I felt I was able to have relationships with all my teachers as well as other teachers at the school that I never even had in class. The bathrooms definitely need an update and NWC needs new desks but other than that, the facilities are good!
