Philosophy

The Meridian School is a place where the joy of childhood infuses the excitement of learning. By integrating curriculum, citizenship, and community, we provide the foundation for well-rounded students.

Curriculum: At Meridian, education is engaging and inspiring. The thematic curriculum fires imaginations and weaves academic learning into a joyful experience of exploration and discovery.

Citizenship: Integrity, compassion, and responsibility are essential to the mission of Meridian. Students are guided toward self-discipline and thoughtful decisions, mindful of both themselves and the community.

Community: The Meridian community is one where students, staff, and families feel they are known, valued and belong. Our connections are strengthened through strong parent involvement and relationships with senior citizens, professional artists, and environmental educators that share our historic building.

Education is not just about teaching students to achieve. It's also about what a child thinks and feels. At Meridian, we provide a solid academic foundation with sensitivity toward the internal lives of our students. Students leave Meridian confident, capable, and well prepared for the next phase of their academic lives.
