Our Mission
At NWCS, we collectively commit to succeed at multiple bottom lines. We commit to provide exceptional value, compassionate support, ongoing evaluation and professional expertise to every individual. We see our students as unique individuals, and success comes from creatively enriching the whole person. We honor individual diversity and development by providing the most dynamic, innovative, and adaptive support services possible.
Our Program
Because no two individuals are the same, no two NWCS student plans will look the same. Each program is tailor made for the individual’s needs. One student may need heavy educational support while another student may need assistance navigating life on their own within the community. Rather than forcing a student to conform to a prearranged schedule or program, we collaborate with the student on a unique program that fits their individual passions, goals, and needs. We believe that people are complex and that true changes comes as we address the needs of the whole person – emotional, physical, and intellectual.
