About the Program:
“One of the things that stands-out about North Wall is the cohesion and constancy of the program and philosophy across the curriculum and divisions. This is perhaps the strongest single aspect of the North Wall education that makes it stand apart from other programs. The school embodies the philosophy in every aspect of the school – North Wall, as a school, knows who they are and who they want to be - this is the genius of the place. There are very few schools who can as clearly and pervasively, throughout the school, articulate who they are as North Wall.” – “The North Wall teachers and curriculum are (is) holistic, innovative, engaging, student centered.” - Mike Poutiatine - Gonzaga Grad Student working toward PHd in Educational Leadership

They are learning about politics; they know about evaporation, condensation, and precipitation; and the list goes on.
