About

School Philosophy

Meridian School continues in the tradition of classical education, with a core knowledge and liberal arts emphasis. We are a learning community that supports personal excellence among both students and faculty. We use our own Meridian Curriculum which uses Utah State Core and Core Knowledge as a general guide for course subject matter, and then expands on those standards and content to provide a richer, hands-on learning experience. Parental presence in the school and participation in policy making are strongly encouraged. Meridian gives consistent attention to the improvement of curriculum and methods of teaching in order to improve educational opportunities for all children. The school maintains collaborative relationships with local governments, public education, and colleges and universities across the nation and world.

Curriculum Overview/Graduation Requirements
The graduation requirements for Meridian students are a reflection of the school’s commitment to the liberal arts tradition of education. Prior to graduation all Meridian students must complete a rigorous core curriculum in English, mathematics, history, foreign language, and science. The Meridian graduation requirements are designed to prepare motivated students for success at the best colleges and universities in the nation. A variety of non-core electives in the fine arts and sciences add breadth to a Meridian student’s experience.
