The Meridian School

Welcome to The Meridian School!

Established in 1976, The Meridian School is a warm and inviting private preschool and elementary school nestled in the heart of Seattle, Washington. We are dedicated to nurturing young minds from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th grade with a vibrant and well-rounded curriculum that balances academics, social-emotional learning, and a sense of global citizenship.

Our Unique Approach

At Meridian, we believe that every child deserves a personalized learning experience. That's why we maintain small class sizes, with an average 16:1 student-teacher ratio. This allows our dedicated teachers to give each child the attention they need to thrive.

Celebrating Diversity

We take pride in our diverse community, with 35% of our students being children of color. This rich tapestry of backgrounds enhances our learning environment, fostering understanding and respect among all students.

Engaging Curriculum

Our curriculum is designed to be both engaging and inspiring. We incorporate:

• Thematic units that connect different subjects
• Project-based learning that encourages creativity and critical thinking
• Enrichment classes in Music, Art, Spanish, and Library to spark curiosity and passion in our students

Social-Emotional Learning

At the heart of our program is the 'Meridian Cares' framework, which emphasizes the importance of empathy, respect, and responsibility. We are committed to helping our students develop strong social-emotional skills that will serve them well throughout their lives.

A Strong Community

The Meridian School is more than just a place to learn; it’s a community! We encourage active parent involvement and work hard to ensure that our school is accessible to all families through tuition assistance programs.

Join us at The Meridian School, where we inspire a love of learning and prepare our students to be thoughtful, engaged citizens of the world!
