While the building and facility additions have added so much to our school, we could not be where we are today without our wonderful veteran teaching, support, administration staff, and board members. We all believe so strongly in our mission and we come to our school each day to make our students' lives better presently and for the future. To touch a child’s life positively and help them believe in themselves and what they can accomplish in life is an honor and benefits us all.

Seaside Neighborhood School
View digital art created by students from Seaside Neighborhood School. The Visual Arts program utilizes iPads, Apple Pencils and the Procreate app so that students can explore a brand new (to them) medium.
Our school was founded in 1996 as the Seaside Neighborhood School. It was one of the first and it is now the oldest public charter school in the state of Florida. The original goal was simple – create a school to address the need for a middle school education in the south end of Walton County – and we haven’t stopped since.
We enroll more than 400 students in grades 5 through 12. The middle school campus, Seaside Neighborhood School, serving students in grades 5 through 8, is located in the iconic beach town of Seaside, Florida. The high school campus, Seacoast Collegiate High School, serving students in grades 9 through 12 is located nearby at Northwest Florida State College's South Walton Campus.
From the school conception until now, we have worked to foster success for the whole child. We are laying the foundation for success as a person and success as a student beginning in fifth grade. By the time our students graduate, they have completed a collegiate program and are ready to continue their education or pursue employment that will make a positive contribution to society.
