Meridian is a great tight-knit community. It is inclusive and welcoming of all people. I do wish it had sports.

After attending a few different types of schools throughout Boston (public and private), I have never seen a more supportive, kind, and thoughtful school vibe. It is a place where teachers encourage thoughtful discourse, creative expression, and active community involvement. Meridian is truly special.
