Diversity at Meridian

The Meridian School promotes diversity of thought and identity by bringing together community and curriculum to open minds and hearts, connect awareness to actions, and celebrate the contribution of the individual to the community.

We believe that the challenges of our world require culturally-competent, well-rounded, critical-thinking individuals who are prepared to be responsible and active global citizens; that diversity brings perspectives and authentic experiences central to an education that balances the intellectual, emotional, and social growth of children; and, that a school community and learning environment that is inclusive and more diverse will promote a deeper understanding of varying points of view, and will fuel innovation, creativity, and progressive change.

When we talk about diversity at Meridian, we are talking about diversity of thought and identity. This means the different ways people look at, think about, and interpret the world, and how they or others define themselves in that world. A myriad of experiences, beliefs, characteristics and circumstances contribute to who we are as unique individuals and what we bring to the community at Meridian. We embrace and celebrate the ways in which this diversity enriches the learning opportunities for our students.
