Responsibility. Respect. Integrity. Compassion. Courage.
Our student handbook explains how these core values shape the Northwood community.
Our Community
At Northwood, we hold each other accountable. We recognize every individual’s worth. We observe a shared moral code. We extend a helping hand to those in need. We approach challenges with confidence. These values define our school. Anchored by our Lake Placid campus, Northwood’s students, faculty, staff, family, and friends form a community that extends across many borders and cultures. We all work together toward a common goal; to support students in their academic pursuits, individual self-expression, and development of practical skills. Our student handbook explains how our shared values and ethics are expressed in daily life, academics, and behavior. This creates a common standard that is upheld by all members of the Northwood community.Your Guide
