We want you to discover how our curriculum and community make Meridian a distinctive and special place to learn. This web site, our information sessions, a visit during the school day, and conversations with Meridian families are all ways to help you learn about school.

Come learn more! Meridian hosts information sessions in the fall and early winter. Come hear about the school, speak with students, parents, and teachers, and find out about the kind of learning that you can experience at Meridian. If you have missed all of the sessions, please call the school to arrange for an introduction and tour.
