A private school welcoming international students.
We are looking to accept strongly motivated, qualified students into grades 9, 10, and 11. Applications are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis. All our international students come to Northwest Catholic through partnering agencies. Please contact one of the agencies below to apply for admission.
At Northwest Catholic students are immersed in our English-speaking community and participate in all aspects of the community’s life --academically, spiritually, and socially. There are currently 12 international students at Northwest Catholic, representing the countries of China, Germany, and Vietnam. We have also had students from Spain, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, and Germany.
