Meridian Academy

Meridian Academy is a small private school in Boston serving a diverse group of students in grades 6 through 12. It mentors students to become creative, questioning, analytical learners and thoughtful, involved citizens, blending practices from progressive and traditional schooling. Students learn to pose and investigate original questions, work collaboratively and communicate clearly. The curriculum is interdisciplinary, teaching core subjects together and drawing themes from cultures around the world.

The school is small by design, an approach grounded in research on how young people learn, so every student is known as a learner and a person. Everyone takes part in shared decision-making, and teachers and students often work together for multiple years, which builds strong mentoring relationships. Equity, antiracism and economic accessibility are foundational to the school, which aims to make an independent education accessible for all families.
