Enrollment

All Northwest School of Innovative Learning students have Individualized Education Plans (IEP) and come to our program by way of a student’s home district. We are open to discussing our school program with parents, guardians and other agency personnel, and offer tours and informational meetings upon request.

Placement for prospective students comes after receiving approval from their home school districts. We are happy to work with interested parties and representatives in their home districts in an effort to provide easier navigation in what can be a complicated process. Districts require a Release of Information (ROI) to share records with the Northwest School of Innovative Learning, and this is completed via the appropriate district representative.
