Northwind Fellows uses Competency-based education (CBE).
 
CBE is a system of instruction and assessment focused on a student's ability to demonstrate mastery of specific skills, knowledge, and abilities (competencies) rather than on time spent in a classroom. In CBE, students advance by mastering content at their own pace, receiving ongoing, data-driven feedback and support, and demonstrating their learning through meaningful assessments. The goal is to ensure every student achieves the required competencies to be successful, making learning outcomes constant and time the variable.
