| Northwest Academy closing after 24 years · August 30, 2018 By Lyndsie Kiebert Reader Staff Northwest Academy, a therapeutic boarding school in Bonners Ferry for 16-18 year olds, is closing according to an announcement from the school last week. Director of Admissions Julia Andrick wrote on strugglingteens.com that after 24 years, Northwest Academy will close on Sept. 26 due to low enrollment. “While we believe strongly in our mission to serve the specific needs of older adolescents, we are no longer able to attract a sufficient number of students in today’s treatment landscape who would benefit from this approach,” she said. “Our staff will work closely with Educational Consultants and parents to provide arrangements for our current students who will need further support in other programs, services or communities.” Andrick, who is also the Admissions Liaison for Boulder Creek Academy in Bonners Ferry, said Boulder Creek — Northwest’s “sister school” — will remain open.
