A connected K–8 journey

Each stage pairs strong foundations with purposeful exploration.

Early Years

Kindergarten learners build language, number sense, and belonging through play and daily routines.

Lower School

Grades 1–3 strengthen reading, writing, mathematics, and curiosity through integrated projects.

Upper Elementary

Grades 4–5 connect core studies with field research, design challenges, and collaborative work.

Middle School

Grades 6–8 balance subject-based seminars, independent inquiry, and thoughtful preparation for high school.

Arts & Making

Studio art, music, drama, and fabrication give every student room to imagine and revise.

Outdoor Learning

Gardens, neighborhood walks, and seasonal field studies turn the local environment into a classroom.

A school shaped by participation

Meridian brings students, educators, and families into the work of building a healthy school community. Morning meetings, mixed-grade partnerships, and service days make listening and responsibility part of the curriculum.

Teachers know their students closely and design clear paths toward shared academic goals. Families receive regular learning updates and meet with teachers throughout the year.

  • Small classes with responsive instruction
  • Daily arts, movement, and outdoor time
  • Need-based tuition assistance
“Meridian gives our daughter the confidence to ask hard questions and the patience to keep working toward an answer.”

— Rowan P., parent
