Northwood Academy serves approximately 750 students in Pre-school through 12th grade. Students come from across the Charleston area and represent a variety of Christian denominations. When the school was founded in 1978, under the banner of Northwood Christian School, it boasted 80 students in one classroom. Today the school occupies two campuses, employs over 50 teachers, and is one of the ten largest SCISA schools. To accommodate the continued growth, a cafeteria, gymnasium, and additional classrooms were added in 1980. To further enhance the school program, a two-story education building was completed in 1985. Finally, in 1993 under the name of Northwood Academy, an upper school facility was completed. This facility includes classrooms, a cafeteria, library, and separate gymnasium. In May of 2000, both campuses officially adopted the name of Northwood Academy. The Lord has continued to bless the school in many ways. Our grade level Stanford Achievement Test scores are well above the percentile required for Advanced SCISA Accreditation. Also, our SAT scores have consistently been above the national average and we have had both National Merit and Commended Scholars.
