Nicholas’ Story
“Like most children Nicholas has always had a natural curiosity about the world and how everything works,” says his mom Kathleen Banks. “He had so many questions and ideas, I felt that I was only a few steps ahead of him sometimes.”
Meridian was the right place for an inquisitive boy like Nicholas. “When we visited the school I was impressed,” Kathleen says. “We didn’t have to wander far to feel the sense of community. They all greeted us, invited us into their classrooms and answered our questions. The classes were small which meant each student would get individual attention.”
As a proud member of the Class of 2010, Nicholas has spent his entire education at Meridian. “I’ve always told Nicholas that he needed to stay at Meridian through middle school so that he could have a solid foundation of learning and good study habits. The deal was he could choose where he wanted to go to high school. He chose Meridian.”
With graduation approaching, Kathleen reflects on the last 13 years. “Nicholas has made lifelong friends among his fellow students and teachers. These people are an important part of his past, present and to his future, I am sure. Some people might think that private school is for rich kids or geniuses and I feared those same things when we searched for a school for our children. We are not rich and our children are not geniuses. We are just ordinary people who wanted the best possible educational experience for our children.
Two words: ‘No Regrets!’”
