Founded in 1969, George Walton Academy (GWA) prepares children for success with a college-preparatory curriculum supported by a broad range of enrichment activities and rooted in Judeo-Christian principles. GWA is focused on developing the total child, helping them discover talents and interests as they learn.
The curriculum is designed to continually prepare students for the next level. Pre-kindergarten and kindergarten kids work on letters and numbers to get an introduction to reading, writing and math. Lower and middle school students have more structured classes, learning traditional subjects with hands-on experiences. In GWA’s upper school, high school kids may choose from the school’s rigorous honors program or Advanced Placement courses. Dual enrollment lets students earn college credit while they’re still in high school.
GWA also offers global studies with exchange and immersion programs abroad. The exceptional academic program is rounded out with a full range of arts, athletics and activities, including an award-winning band program. The George Walton Academy Bulldogs compete in the Georgia Independent Athletic Association, with sports programs for kids of every age and region. Through its well-rounded program, George Walton Academy prepares children for excellence in college and life.

George Walton academy readies their students in high schools from freshmen year to make sure their students don't only graduate with the proper credits but even exceeding that expectation. The school achieves this by offering rigorous courses such as honors and AP classes that some surrounding schools may not offer. The short time spent at George Walton has helped me tremendously in my college process ,and I will soon start applying with ease due to the support of faculty and peers.

I have been going to George Walton Academy for a full decade (since 2014). The experience in academics overall has been amazing, as it maintains a great reputation with colleges.

Wonderful school for my 3 kids. Great family atmosphere. Sent my oldest to UNC Chapel Hill.
3/4/2025
We have four children attending George Walton Academy, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. It’s been truly wonderful. I’d heard that the teachers were exceptional—and I wholeheartedly agree—but I was initially concerned that the community might feel too tight-knit or exclusive. That coul...

Great school on the outside but as soon as you peel away the layers you find a school that is only a pretty face. mental health is thrown to the ways side, and any child with a learning disability is treated terribly. Staff range from passive aggressive to down right rude and hostile. unless you wan...

Headmaster Hobbs and the faculty care deeply about quality education and character development. Parent engagement is an asset as well. Diverse opportunities exist for extracurricular activities.

Lovely open and wooded tract with nice amount of road frontage and an ever flowing creek on property. The dental slop should allow for a basement lot if desired. Soil texting will be responsibility of the buyer.
