School of Education

With over 120 years of excellence, Northwest’s award-winning education program gives students early, hands-on experience in our on-campus lab school — plus personalized support from faculty who know their name. 

When donors support our School of Education, you are providing key to support our laboratory schools (Horace Mann & Leet Center) as well as our future educators.  Your financial support of our laboratory schools ensures our young laboratory school students are learning through innovative and engaging methods, providing money for manipulatives, books, online learning experiences, and field trips to see learning in action (i.e. living history experiences with their practicing teachers to see history in action).  Your financial resources also help to off-set the additional costs of becoming a teacher, such as licensure test costs and background check fees. Gifting to our School of Education is helping to ensure our children’s education will be high quality and impactful.
