Northwood: A Community Unlike Any Other

Northwood School in Upstate New York stands out among private co-ed boarding schools through its small size, personalized approach to student learning, unique academic and co-curricular offerings, and its location in the Adirondack Mountains.

As a school of under two hundred students, Northwood offers a chance for each member to be well known and to make an impact on the school community.

A Northwood School student’s experience is defined by the relationships they form with their peers and the faculty while living in the vibrant and beautiful town of Lake Placid, New York. Having the ability to take advantage of the wonders of the Adirondack Park, walk Main Street with friends, or explore Lake Placid’s Olympic history and facilities ensures that Northwood students’ days are unlike those of students’ elsewhere… and it’s days like these that keep Northwood School a part of our students’ lives well beyond graduation.
