Tallwood High School is a secondary school in southwest Virginia Beach, Virginia. It was built on the site of an old colonial plantation whose manor house was Tallwood, hence the name of the school. Tallwood was remodeled during 2004–2005.

One of the school's most remarkable features is the Global Studies and World Languages Academy. It's one of several magnet programs in Virginia Beach. Students throughout the city interested in studying global issues and foreign languages can apply.
