The Marilou Allen Office ofService and Community Collaboration

Parkway NW is a public high school with the mission to develop successful young adults who are leaders for peace and social justice. They've created a radical, empowering learning environment that combines a small, tight-knit school community with the extensive learning opportunities of a much larger school. Founded as a "school without walls," Parkway both challenges and supports its students and their families' work for social justice through continued engagement with local communities. The Parkway curriculum focuses on critical thinking, problem-solving, cooperative learning, and research, to "prepare students to face a complex world with the skills necessary to institute positive change locally and globally."
