Our Approach
Meridian organizes students into four divisions that each combine two grade levels.
At every age, students have opportunities for age-appropriate support while also embracing leadership, independence, and new challenges. In our small community, our division system also allows students to consistently join new groups of peers.
01
Division 1
Grades 5–6
02
Division 2
Grades 7–8
03
Division 3
Grades 9–10
04
Division 4
Grades 11–12
Meridian is distinctive in its combination of a small, close-knit community and an ambitious, student-driven approach to learning.
Students have the time and support to pursue meaningful questions through interdisciplinary, project-based work, while multi-age classes and shared community experiences create opportunities to collaborate, lead, and learn from one another.
While there are no traditional letter grades, students receive regular feedback and revision, authentic audiences to share their work, and a curriculum that extends into the Boston community and beyond.
Meridian gives students an education built around curiosity, agency, connection, and real-world engagement.
