Northwood High School
Orchard Hills residents can appreciate the proximity of Northwood High School. Northwood High School embraces a collaborative model in which teachers dissolve the boundaries that traditionally separate classrooms and disciplines and work together to write and refine curriculum. The physical structure of the school supports this spirit of collaboration. Every four classrooms are joined together by an adjacent student workroom; the student workrooms or "pods" allow teachers and students from different disciplines to open the doors of their classrooms and interact.
