WELCOME TO
Northrop Schools of Success
At Northrop, we are committed to preparing students for life after graduation, whether that means college, the military or the workforce. Through our Schools of Success powered by 3DE, students connect core academics with real-world experiences. As freshmen, students join a house that provides support while they explore career pathways offered at Northrop, the FWCS Career Academy and Amp Lab.

Schools of Success Timeline
Year 1: Freshmen discover their interests and build real-world skills through the Freshman Seminar course.
Year 2 & 3: Sophomores step into their School of Success, aligning academics with their pathways in a small learning environment as they continue to build their community connections in their sophomore and junior year seminar courses.
Years 4: Students are preparing for college, career and life beyond high school with our capstone options of Amp Lab, AP & Dual Credit Classes, Work-Based Learning and Cooperative Education. With so many options, our Schools of Success offer a path for everyone. Many students will leave our schools with multiple college credits, certifications, experiences and connections, ready for the day after graduation.

TESTIMONIALS
Let’s hear from our community
Aaron Smith, METT Math Teacher
Over the years I’ve seen just about every extracurricular activity be the one of, if not the best around. There is so much hard work, talent and creativity that comes from some of our kids.
Emerson, Student Ambassador
What makes Northrop “great” is essentially the same as what makes Northrop “Northrop.” Even though we are a school, and that is our primary focus, it is far from the only thing that contributes to “Northrop, the People.” We are a community, we all support each other, we all strive to be the best version of ourselves. When we stop, it’s just a pause, and when we fail, we just retry. Even though we struggle, we always find a way to triumph in the end. Because we are not just humans, we are Bruins.
Janet, Student Ambassador
Something that makes Northrop great is its diversity. Being able to find clubs and people who have the same interests as you can be done. To add on, we have ELL (MLL) that helps those who don’t speak English learn and keep up with their studies. Not only do we have our special education programs that allow those who have disabilities to learn and make friends like everyone else. Our school's diversity allows everyone to feel welcomed and appreciated.
Jaclyn Martinez, Multi Language Learner Teacher
Northrop is a great place to work and learn because everyone feels welcome and valued. We actively support and honor diversity. Students and staff feel a strong sense of belonging. Our administrators show grace and understanding, and teachers support and help each other. When there is a crisis, both administrators and teachers reach out to students with care and compassion, which makes our school a safe and supportive community.
