One of the best ways to understand a school as you consider the expanding educational options for your child, grandchild, neighbor's child or just out of community interest is to see it in action! 

On behalf of Debbie Fisher, principal of Near West Intergenerational School, I would like to invite you, your friends, and your child(ren) (all ages welcome) to tour the school and see the classrooms and students on Wednesday morning, March 7, from 8:30-9:15am.

If you plan on attending, please let me know so the staff can plan accordingly. If you would like a tour but cannot make the date, please call Maggie at NWIS to arrange visiting NWIS at a different time: 216.961.4308. 

Please enter through the back main doors off the parking lot (if driving, enter parking lot from west off Randall). NWIS is located on the lower level of Garrett-Morgan High School at 4016 Woodbine Avenue, Cleveland, 44113. 

If you find yourself drawn to the school but don't have kids or don't have kids of school-age yet, remember that there are plenty of ways to get involved with NWIS because of its intergenerational programming and community engagement. Just ask a friendly staff member about ways to get involved!
