Real family/community environment. Younger kids have older mentors.
As a 7th grader, he is already learning about Physics & engineering. He says these classes are the best ever. Math, Science, Technology classes are so hands-on! Additionally, they learn the reason for math like Algebra. Most schools teach subjects as unrelated silos of info. At the Meridian, the subjects are INTEGRATED.
The school customizes learning (e.g., very small advanced Spanish class or coding class). Languages are 1 of 3 pillars of learning, so learning a foreign language is paramount every year.
No loud bells going off, teachers are great, & students are able to be totally involved in their learning. They don’t need an external reward system like grades. They want to learn & do their best. You don’t just slack off & write a report to get by w/ a C. You actually learn to write, revise & master your topic. It is not about tests & grades; it is about learning!
Rich Afterschool environment too with hiking club, rock band Tuesdays and Thursdays, theater every day, or you can hang out with the lizards or on the sofas doing your homework with others. You can create any club you want with others.
I really cannot say enough about how awesome and inclusive this school has been. Perfect and worth every penny! The school supports kids with 75% tuition assistance too.
The school is small and has a high ratio of teachers to students, so the teachers are very accessible both to kids and to their parents. Everyone there is very kind (kids, teachers, administrators). There is an understanding that the whole child is developing, and the school’s just isn’t just to teach a disembodied intellect so it can pass some tests. This is a welcome break from many schools.
