Academic Program

Our Curriculum

At the core of Meridian’s philosophy is the relationship between teachers and students. Small classes ensure that students thrive; children feel known and safe both intellectually and emotionally.

This intimate learning environment affords rich opportunities for cooperative and interactive experiences—we believe that student participation and personal choice lead to a powerful investment in and passion for learning. The curriculum promotes integration across subjects, connected thinking, and real-world application. The strong sense of community at Meridian supports all learners and encourages active listening to differing viewpoints and opinions. Learning how to solve problems and make good choices are a priority, as is respect for oneself, others, and the environment.
