The Near West Intergenerational School open in 2011 and is located on the lower level of the Garrett Morgan school building at 4016 Woodbine Ave in the Ohio City Neighborhood of Cleveland.  The building is shared with the Cleveland School of Science magnet high school.  

The Near West Intergenerational School is a Breakthrough Charter School.  It is a public school, with no tuition, and open to all residents of Ohio.  The Near West Intergenerational School is a sister school to The Intergenerational School (TIS).  TIS has been serving lifelong learners on Cleveland's east side for over 12 years.   Both Intergenerational Schools are driven by two concepts:

 

  1. Knowledge is socially acquired.
  2. Learning is a lifelong process.

 

The Near West Intergenerational School is sponsored by the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.

Vision Statement:  The Near West Intergenerational School will create an environment that empowers learners of all ages, encourage awareness of and involvement in the social and physical fabric of our Near West side neighborhoods, and contribute to the sustainability of our local economy and communities.

Mission:  The Near West Intergenerational School connects, creates, and guides a multigenerational community of lifelong learners and engaged citizens.

Founders’ Statement: The Near West Intergenerational School is founded by a group of neighborhood parents who desire a school rooted in and reflective of the physical and social fabric of the local community it serves.  NWIS is established to provide quality, free, and accessible education to all children, with the intention of serving extensively, but not exclusively, the local children and families of the near west side of Cleveland.  NWIS is also created to serve as a cornerstone for continued community development, economic and neighborhood stability, and a gathering place for lifelong learners.  NWIS will encourage family and broader community involvement and connectivity and reflect a culture of awareness and appreciation for the rich and diverse neighborhoods in which we live.
