Our programs include Toddler (ages 14 months – 3), Early Childhood (ages 3-6), Lower Elementary (ages 6-9), and Upper Elementary (ages 9-12).

We are very excited to be moving into a permanent home in South Walton next to Eden State Gardens in the historic Point Washington community. After closing on May 12th, we’ll be spending the Summer renovating and building an addition to the two existing structures, originally built by Peter Horn of Artisan Builders. It’s a solid and beautiful building on a large piece of property covered in old-growth live oaks and magnolias. - see virtual tour. We’re looking forward with great excitement to be moving closer to the heart of our community with plenty of room for future expansion.

SWMA gratefully acknowledges the following individuals and companies that have committed their time to making the improvements to our new campus in Point Washington. Each individual listed has or had their children enrolled at SWMA. Thank you!
