Our elementary program reflects our commitment to small, relationship-centered learning and student curiosity. To provide a meaningful experience, we typically enroll no more than 12 children per class. In addition to a low student-to-teacher ratio, this creates a sense of fellowship that is uncommon in larger school settings. Classes combine hands-on learning and community experiences, guided by Montessori principles. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to meet children where they are developmentally and support them as they grow in independence and responsibility.

Additional Options
A limited three-day option is available for homeschooling families seeking a Montessori-aligned environment, with a rhythm that supports hands-on learning, independence, and time in nature. This option provides a consistent, in-person setting to complement work at home.
Rotating forest adventure and nature study (second and fourth Friday), community-based scavenger hunts and field trips, in-house guests and cultural celebrations; makerspace and games days. This option is available to enrolled Meridian families, as well as homeschooling families.

Enrichment
On select days, students may have the option to participate in enrichment offerings through community partnerships, which vary by semester and are based on interest and availability. These opportunities may include options such as weekly art or music classes, along with short-term, themed offerings that emerge from the interests of our community. Participation is optional and fees are determined by enrichment partners.
Admission Requirements
We currently accept children age 6 to 12 years. A trial day is required prior to confirmation of enrollment. If a student has previously been enrolled in a non-Meridian elementary or preschool program, we request educational records or transition information from the prior school to support a smooth placement.
