Get to Know George Walton Academy


George Walton Academy seeks students of exemplary character who will benefit from the challenge of a college-preparatory experience, who show potential for engagement in leadership and service opportunities, and whose parents' goals align with those of the school.

The admission committee evaluates each applicant on a variety of factors including academic records from current schools, recommendations from current teachers, individual interviews and performance on standardized assessments. Children applying to K4, K5 and first grade participate in a developmental screening and playgroup.

We are excited to offer a Pre-K3 class. This half-day program will prepare our youngest Bulldogs for the K4 admission screening while introducing them to all that GWA has to offer. Space is very limited, please contact Cari Bailey for details and availability.

At every grade level, the admission process is rooted in finding the best match between prospective families and George Walton Academy. We look forward to getting to know your family better throughout the admissions process!
