It serves the boroughs of Swarthmore, Rose Valley and Rutledge, and the township of Nether Providence (consisting largely of the unincorporated community of Wallingford). 
 
The school district has one high school, Strath Haven High School, one middle school, Strath Haven Middle School, and three elementary schools, Nether Providence Elementary School, Wallingford Elementary School, and Swarthmore-Rutledge Elementary School.  Wallingford-Swarthmore schools are highly regarded, and the district is one of the best in suburban Philadelphia.

Since its founding in 1864, Swarthmore College has given students the knowledge, insight, skills, and experience to become leaders for the common good. Offering a liberal arts and engineering curriculum, the College is private, yet open to all regardless of financial need. It is also decidedly global in outlook, drawing students from around the world and all 50 states. The diversity of perspectives represented by Swarthmore students, faculty, and staff - including different viewpoints, identities, and histories - contributes to the community's strong sense of open dialogue and engagement with ideas and issues.
