Welcome to Summer 2008 at The Northwest School!
Each summer, 10- to 16-year-olds from across the world join their peers from Seattle to have fun, make lasting friendships and become global citizens. Last year our program drew students from across America and from 12 different countries to The Northwest School.
 You can join us for two weeks, four weeks or up to six weeks. Each day the whole summer community meets to share performances, exhibits, recreation and shopping at the student-run store.
At Summer Camp, you can read or write just because you want to. You’ll play sports, paint, sing, learn to knit or bake. You’ll act, juggle, dance and even perform magic tricks. Polish your math skills. Learn science the fun way. Play games that will improve your vocabulary. And every day, you’ll share laughs with friends from around the world.
Summer Camp Information
Campers come from everywhere
Students come from the Seattle area and other parts of Washington State to attend our Summer Camp. But they also have come from as far away as Mongolia, Alaska, Arizona, France, California, Florida, Hawaii, Germany, Japan, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Taiwan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas and the Russian Far East, to name a few.
Different classes, different ages
We make our class sizes small so our teachers can work with many ages and abilities at once. Mixed-age groups are successful and fun.
Transportation concerns
Campers must make their own arrangements for transportation. However, if you request it, we will provide a ride for you to and from Sea-Tac Airport for a $75 charge each way. Please note: we need four weeks advance notice for airport pickups.
Campers who live in or near Seattle may commute on King County’s bus system called Metro Transit (206-553-3000; tripplanner.metrokc.gov).
Visa matters
Because our Summer Camp is a non-credit program, international campers need only hold non-immigrant B1 or B2 short-term visitor visas. Our international department is available to help families with issues related to the Summer Camp.
Most of our communication is done by email, but our website is up and running 24/7. Please check back often for updates and information on the Summer Camp.
