Northwood Elementary is a Choice School located in High Point in Guilford County. Northwood Elementary School is a community of learners committed to the education of all scholars with the outcome being inquiring, knowledgeable, caring, career-ready citizens who help create a more peaceful community, state, nation, and world through intercultural understanding and respect.

Our new choice program beginning in August 2025 is World of Discovery: Career Development and Lanugage.

• All scholars receive Mandarin Chinese instruction on a weekly basis.
• Scholars learn about different cultures, including Chinese culture and the cultures represented by their classmates.
• All scholars spend time exploring career options and take a career personality assessment to discover what careers might interest them.
• Third through fifth grade scholars take a more in-depth look at their career personalities and the associated career clusters.  They choose one career to research, and they prepare a wax-museum presentation about that career.
• Third through fifth grade scholars continue their career exploration by researching colleges or other post high school options that will prepare them for the career they researched.  They also visit local universities to learn more about college life.
