Our mission at Northwest Catholic is to educate the whole
person - mind, body, spirit, and imagination. We believe that an
education that does not take into account a student`s spiritual
life is incomplete. We encourage excellence, and as each student
strives for it - academically, athletically, and artistically - he
or she becomes a person of faith and service.
We look to our motto to guide us. In lumina tuo videbimus
lumen. In Your light we shall see light. Everything we do at NWC,
every act and every interaction, is an opportunity to be the light
of Christ for one another. It is this spirit of faith and light
that has distinguished the NWC community for over half a
century.
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!
