Merritt Academy

Merritt Academy classes will be paused on June 11–12 as our teachers take part in professional development and spend time planning, learning, and preparing for their students.

Thank you for supporting our dedicated educators as they continue to grow and create exceptional classroom experiences. We can't wait to see everyone back on Monday, June 15, for more learning adventures!

🎓 Congratulations to the Merritt Academy Class of 2026! 🎓

We are proud to celebrate the Merritt Academy Class of 2026 as they begin an exciting new chapter.

Over the years, these students have grown into confident, compassionate, and capable young adults. Through academic achievements, meaningful friendships, leadership opportunities, and unforgettable experiences, they have helped shape the vibrant community that makes Merritt so special.

As they prepare for high school, we hope they carry with them the lessons learned, memories made, and confidence gained throughout their time at Merritt.

Our kindergarten students enjoyed a beautiful day outdoors planting sunflower seeds together. 🌻🌱 There was plenty of excitement as students dug in the soil, planted their seeds, and worked side by side in the garden.

All aboard for Train Week at Merritt Academy! 🚂✨ Ms. Sue transformed Preschool STEAM sessions into a special caboose adventure where students enjoyed train-themed stories, built tracks, completed puzzles, colored, and explored hands-on activities inspired by trains. It was a week full of creativity, imagination, and learning fun!

From bald eagles to marbles to learning about Nepal and exploring solar powered bots, our 3rd and 4th grade students amazed us with their creativity and curiosity during Genius Hour presentations! Students had the opportunity to dive deeper into topics they are passionate about, research new ideas, and confidently share their discoveries with classmates and teachers.

We love seeing our students think independently, ask meaningful questions, and bring their interests to life through hands on learning and innovation. 🌟

🤝✨ Another wonderful Project Pals experience at Merritt Academy!

Today, our 5th grade students joined our K4 class for a special collaborative project filled with creativity, teamwork, and meaningful interaction. Watching students of different ages encourage one another and work together is one of the many things that makes our Merritt community so special. 💙

Ms. Carmen’s K3 class recently had the opportunity to visit residents at The Virginian for a heartwarming morning filled with songs, stories, puzzles, and conversation. Our students loved spending time with their new “grandfriends" and it was clear the residents enjoyed the visit just as much.

These meaningful experiences help our students build empathy, confidence, and connections within the community while creating memories across generations.❤️
