Meridian redefines excellence with our innovative blend of student-led inquiry, hands-on learning, and a nurturing, diverse community—offered in a way that no other school in the Washington area can.
Once students are enrolled, we often hear from families that Meridian makes learning come alive. With the world changing every day, we believe PreK-8 education should empower students to lead, question, and explore. Our students grow through meaningful experiences—whether in the classroom, on a field trip, or through our vibrant arts and extracurricular programs.
