Always toward the best

Merit Academy continues to provide high quality education with standards of excellence.

Entering our sixth year, Merit Academy is building on our proven model of intensive academics with additional intervention opportunities, tutoring, and focused instruction to close the learning gaps for those students who are not yet proficient, and to further challenge our most gifted students to even higher achievements.

Mediocrity is not a milestone.  Excellence is not a place of rest.
