How to become a student in a school where

“Excellence in Education is a Tradition.”

Northwestern School Corporation will begin accepting applications from students interested in transferring to any of our schools for the 2012-13 school year on February 1, 2012. Parents or students may access application forms through our website (further down this page) or by calling 457-8101, ext. 1100. Completed applications with accompanying documents received prior to April 1, 2012 will be eligible for early approval by May 1, 2012. Applications received after April 1 or not approved in the early approval timeline will remain in consideration for our late approval consideration which will be largely determined by available classroom space. Late approval notifications will be provided in early August. I recommend submission of the transfer application as soon as possible as the date of application is a factor in the acceptance process. Please review the application for associated documents that should be included to complete the application. These documents must be filed with the school corporation prior to April 1 for the application to be complete and considered for early approval. You may also scroll to the bottom of this page to view our transfer student guidelines. I encourage you to contact any of the building principals or me to learn more about our school corporation and join the 175 students who have transferred to our schools in the past two years. We look forward to you being a part of a school corporation that takes pride in its ISTEP+ Score recognition, Four Star School Awards, Federal Blue Ribbon School Award, Statewide Science recognition, and many other academic awards and recognition. These awards are possible due to the educational values exhibited by our students and parents as well as the work of a staff that has garnered Presidential teaching awards, Armstrong Fellowships, and district and state teacher and administrator of the year awards. If a challenging environment inspires you, take the necessary steps to become a part of our Northwestern family.

Mission Statement

MISSION STATEMENT

Northwestern School Corporation strives for excellence by fostering an environment of respect that is cooperative, effective, safe, clean and student centered so all students will have the opportunity for quality educational experiences.

Are you interested in transferring your children to Northwestern School Corporation? Listed below are the steps you may take if you are interested.

1. Review the transfer tuition guidelines for the school corporation at the following link: Tuition Guidelines

2. Complete the transfer tuition request form available through the following link: Tuition Request Form

3. Mail or bring your completed application form to the school your child would attend or the Educational Service Center, 3075 N. Washington Street, Kokomo, IN 46901.

4. Schedule and attend an interview with the building principal.

Once those steps have been completed decisions regarding tuition transfer students will be determined in May and presented to our school board for approval in June. Availability of space by grade level is a primary factor, and if space becomes an issue, transfer requests will be prioritized by date of application.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of our building principals or Mr. Snoddy in the corporation office.

Any transfer tuition requests made after the Department of Education count day (approximately September 15th) will be subject to the parent being responsible for the unfunded state support of approximately $5,500.

Thank you for your interest in Northwestern School Corporation "Where excellence in education is a tradition."
