Alumni

Since our first graduate in 1994 from what was then known as The Learning Alternative to the class of 2011, Northfield School of the Liberal Arts has graduated 102 students. We are proud of our scholars, who have been accepted by colleges and universities such as Oxford University, Kenyon College, University of the South (Sewanee), New York University, Vanderbilt University, Tufts University, University of Virginia, Wheaton College, Sarah Lawrence College, Clemson University, Williams College, Austin College, Reed College, The Air Force Adademy, and Williams College. Alumni have also attended Friends University, Wichita State University, University of Kansas, and Kansas State University. They have been National Merit Finalists, National Merit Honorable Mentions, and AP Scholars. We congratulate them on their efforts and look forward to seeing what they will accomplish next.

A Conversation with Bob Elder (class of 1999)
Uncle Bob [Love]’s favorite saying is that Northfield is “life prep” instead of “college prep,” and that was true in a lot of ways. Northfield isn’t a vocationally oriented school, and that gives the students an edge, I think. You come out of school knowing how to learn instead of simply possessing a narrow set of skills that determine what you’re going to do for the rest of your life. That’s very freeing. (more)
