In order to insure a positive learning environment, the safety and health of our school community is emphasized. There is no place to compromise these issues in our educational atmosphere. The Academy supports that premise by providing each student with a student accident policy as well as offering to parents the option of twenty-four-hour coverage.
We have a traditional philosophy of the student learning environment. Within this philosophy, we do allow and encourage a variety of teaching and learning styles within our learning environment. There are many opportunities available for students to expand upon during their daily education. We do however, expect timely completion of assigned work, consistent attendance and demonstration of humanistic qualities.
We are very proud of our faculty, staff and students at Coe-Brown Northwood Academy. We have a faculty and staff dedicated to the academic and social growth of the individual student. In order to be successful it is necessary that we have a close and positive working relationship. We encourage you to develop a close communication in working with your student’s academics and co-curricular activities.
