A Welcome
Helping students rise to their God-given potential.

Our approach is modeling integrity, encouraging new ideas, and developing critical thinkers who innovate solutions for the real world. We welcome your family to experience world-class education that prepares students for success in all areas of life.
Why SWREA
Three things that make this different.
01
Montessori, with Christ at the center.
Prepared environment, hands-on materials, mixed-age classrooms — the Montessori approach K-5 families have always wanted, woven through with biblically-grounded character formation. Uncommon among Christian schools.
02
Small by design — a founding cohort of 24.
No school is more attentive than one starting from intention. Our Founding Class is capped at 24 students across K-5 — a school you and your child help shape from day one.
03
Tuition that disappears.
$8,000 a year — the same amount Florida's average Step Up scholarship covers. For most scholarship-eligible families, that's $0 out of pocket. We'll walk you through the application.
