Admissions Schedule

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.

The primary due date for applications is past. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis for classes with openings. Please contact the school to let us know of your interest and to help expedite the application process.

 

Beginning Steps

Summer – Applications are available.

Fall and Winter – Come to an information session. Dates are listed on our home page. Contact us to let us know of your interest.

Fall – If your child has MCAS test scores, those are acceptable standardized test results. If not, please arrange for your child to complete either the ISEE or SSAT exams or contact the school about alternatives.

Final Application Dates

November - February – Families should schedule an interview to take place by February 25.

February 1 – The school report should be submitted to the applicant's current school (sooner if possible), and teacher recommendations should be given to the applicant's mathematics and English teachers.

February 1 – Parent and student materials are due to Meridian. Applications will be accepted after this date on a rolling basis, if openings remain. Most financial aid will be awarded during the first round of admissions.

Note: Once the regular deadline for applications has passed, Meridian will accept applications on a rolling basis.
