Meridian Academy mentors students in a small, vibrant community to become creative, questioning, analytical learners and thoughtful, involved citizens. Our curriculum incorporates the best practices from both progressive and traditional schooling, encouraging students to embrace the joys and challenges of lifelong discovery.
Distinctive school features include:
-
A small school size that promotes community and gives each student experience being a leader of important projects within the school.
-
Small classes that assure that each student is known well and will be an active participant in all activities.
-
A flexible schedule that facilitates interdisciplinary, inquiry-based learning.
-
Intellectually and physically active learning that uses the resources of the city of Boston and its environs.
-
A commitment to diversity in its many forms including race, background, ideas, and interests so that students come to understand and appreciate a variety of perspectives.
-
An emphasis on writing, problem-posing, and original research in all classes that helps students develop the skills and confidence needed to carry out complex projects.
-
Homework levels that allow students time to do their work well, to be thorough and reflective, and to develop creative and effective solutions to assignments. Homework expectations will also allow students to continue to participate in family and extracurricular life.
