Why attend a private school?
The reasons cited over and over again by the families who send their children to our school include individual attention, small classes, teacher excellence, and high academic standards. But the main motive for families looking into independent private schools can be summarized in one word: Quality.
They want, quite simply, the best for their sons and daughters. The National Educational Longitudinal Study (NELS), conducted by the U.S. Department of Education, confirms what independent school families have known for years: larger percentages of students in independent schools are enrolled in advanced courses than in public, parochial, and other private schools.
Meridian students excel in a wide spectrum of subject areas, taking top state and national honors in writing, mathematics, foreign languages, drama, and many other subjects. Meridian students traditionally outperform their peers on standardized tests, including the IOWA and ACT. The overwhelming majority of Meridian graduates are accepted to the college of their choice and are the recipients of scholarships.
