Southwood Elementary School was established in the late 1800s. This ornate brick building with Romanesque Revival architecture is a landmark in Merion Village and is part of the Columbus Register of Historic Properties. Although Southwood has undergone several major renovations, it still retains the charm of an old-school house.
Today, students recognize the school less for its architecture and more for its adorable eagle mascot. Southwood Elementary serves nearly 300 students from pre-kindergarten to sixth grade and offers students an inclusive learning environment.
As part of the Columbus City School system, all students are eligible for the free Summer Experience program. Students will enjoy six weeks of school and community-based learning experiences that offer hands-on enrichment opportunities. This way, young learners will be able to thrive socially as well as academically.
Located near High Street and across the street from Focus Learning Academy of Southwest Columbus, the school is an ideal choice for young students who want to thrive in and out of the classroom.

My children have attended Southwood since 2012. Since we have all developed a wonderful relationship with the teachers, staff, and principal.
