I have done my time here at SWA (7 years) I've enjoyed every last second of it, as it has been a safe space and a home, I've been both a dorm student and a commuting student at southwestern I have had the best of both worlds. I've made life long friends, from the US, Mexico, Turkey, Poland, Mongolia and many more. There is always something to do at southwestern. So as the next person who reads this review consider being part of the Southwestern Family. It's a 100% choice in the right direction. As I've not only been accepted to many schools from Alabama in the east to Cal Poly Pomona in the west. Southwestern is a place where you belong

Meeting people, learning new cultures. The best part of studying in a small school is that the students won't get ignored, give teacher have ability to focus on every student.

A great school for students who are smart and work hard. My daughter has attended Southwestern Academy this school-year 2021-2022 and she has had a very good learning experience in a safe environment. I would personally recommend it.

Was there for 5 years, I was a boarding student. The teachers are great, still in touch with lots of them till now. And for having friends all over the world, just something you can't attain from any other school.

It’s pretty horrible besides the fact that I made some friends.
