Parents taking photos with students

Students’ parents and families are an important part of the Northwestern family. We want the same things you want: For your student to learn more about God and the world, to form meaningful friendships that might last a lifetime, and to discover the plan God has for your student’s life.

Visit campus

This is your student’s home away from home, so you’re welcome on campus any time. In addition, students’ families are specially invited to campus every fall for our Raider Nation Celebration Homecoming and Family Weekend. Along with traditional Homecoming activities like tailgating and Raider football, the weekend also includes a Morning on the Green family carnival and more activities your whole family will enjoy.

Parent communication

All parents who provide Northwestern with a current email address will receive regular Parent Partner e-newsletters that include NWC information that affects families. The newsletter is sent several times through the school year.
