Meridian Academy is an urban, independent, college preparatory school. Our school, located in the Coolidge Corner neighborhood of Brookline, serves students from throughout Boston and surrounding communities. Meridian is for students who want to become experienced problem-solvers with leadership skills; who want to propose and carry out original projects; and who want to understand the connections between the different ideas that they study and the world in which they live.
Now serving students in grades six through ten, Meridian will expand in the next two years to include grades six through twelve. Please contact us to receive news updates by email.
