Meridian Academy supports its students in their growth as young historians, scientists, artists, mathematicians, writers, and productive members of their community. Our classes are project-based and interdisciplinary. Students engage in original investigations in all courses. 70% of our students are from Boston and 70% are from public schools. We are committed to serving an economically and racially diverse student body. Our school is intentionally small (85 students over 7 grades), informal, and based on respect and trust. We dedicate 38% of our budget to financial aid (the national average is 12%). Our mascot is the cuttlefish.
