We have 4 kids attending merit from elementary to high school. It is an outstanding school. The teachers and administrators are committed to the kids academic success. They have accommodated our dyslexic son. They have provided opportunities for college credits for our junior and provide vocational electives that our boys enjoy. Merit provides an all around environment for our kids to learn and explore what they are good at and would enjoy to do in life. In general the children are all well behaved and the teachers are skilled in classroom management allowing learning to take place. The parents care about the school and are also involved. Would highly recommend this school to engaged parents.

There isn't anything bad I could say about Merit. My daughter is thriving there after a year of mean girls and bullying at her previous traditional public school. They involve parents and the staff is amazing!

From the community and teachers to the education and enrichment opportunities, Graland is an amazing place on every level. The focus on cultivating the whole child is evident from day 1 and we love how character and leadership are instilled in the students at a very young age and woven through out the curriculum all the way through from Pre-K to 8th grade.
What I love most about the school is how the curriculum is coordinated across all the various subjects. So for example, if your child is learning about the solar system in science they might do art projects based on space /solar system in art and learn space vocabulary in Spanish class. The best thing about Graland ,though, is the community--warm, active , involved parents and educators. You can be as involved as much or as little as you would like. Graland is a unique and special place!
