✨ Our first week is officially in the books! ✨

There’s something so special about the beginning of a new school year, seeing familiar faces return, welcoming new ones, settling into new classrooms, and watching our campus come back to life. 💙

This week was filled with smiles, laughter, learning, new friendships, and so many little moments of wonder.

We are incredibly thankful for our teachers and staff who put so much heart into making each day meaningful for our students, and for our families who trust us to be part of their children’s journey.

The adventure has only just begun, and we can’t wait to see all that this year holds. ✨

Here’s to a year of learning, growing, belonging, and a little magic along the way. 🪄🌙

✨🌙 And just like that… the magic is back. 🌙✨

What a wonderful first day back with our amazing staff. 🧡

There’s something special about walking back through these doors and that little spark of excitement for everything ahead. ✨

Today was filled with reconnecting, preparing, dreaming, and a little bit of magic as we get ready to welcome our students back. 🪄📚

The classrooms are coming alive, our people are back together, and year Eleven is officially beginning. 🌿✨

Here’s to a year filled with big dreams, brave hearts, a little beautiful chaos, and the kind of magic that happens when people truly believe in every child.

✨ Help us welcome back the SWA Team.
We can’t wait to see your littles ones join us in a few days! Let the magic begin. 🌙🧡

☀️ Can you believe it’s already the LAST week of Summer Camp?! ☀️

What an incredible summer it has been! We are so thankful to every camper and family who joined us, and to our amazing staff who poured their hearts into creating unforgettable memories, friendships, and experiences. ❤️

As we wrap up summer and prepare for an exciting new school year, here are a few important reminders:

📅 Campus Closed: July 27 – August 13
🏫 Open House: August 14
🎒 First Day of School: August 17

📚 Our 2026–2027 School Calendar is available on our website.

📧 Classroom assignments and additional back-to-school information will be emailed by August 13.

💬 Families will also be added to Bloomz (or receive a Bloomz sign-in code at Open House). Bloomz will be your primary way to communicate directly with your child’s teacher throughout the school year.

As our staff prepares classrooms, completes training, and gets everything ready for another amazing year, please note that phone and email responses may be limited during this preparation period. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we focus on creating the best possible start for our students.

We are looking forward to an incredible 2026–2027 school year! Thank you for choosing South Walton Academy to be a part of your child’s educational journey. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back! 💙🧡

Derby Day, PreK and Kinder style 🐎🌸

Our littlest learners had the sweetest celebration with Comet the pony, and it truly made the day unforgettable. From big smiles to a pony visit, it was such a special experience for our kiddos.

A huge thank you to the Keith family for bringing Comet out and sharing this sweet baby with us, you made this day extra magical 🤍

To our amazing teachers, thank you for always going above and beyond to create fun, creative, and meaningful experiences for our students. Days like this are what make you and South Walton Academy so special 💫
