Merit Academy challenges middle schoolers to push the limits of their abilities. From 6th to 8th grades, students write nine comprehensive research papers, over 45 short essays, and more than 90 articles for our newspaper. All this writing helps ensure that the students are able to express their ideas well and think about difficult problems in depth. Every student is expected to take numerous Math courses and complete Algebra I before entering high school. Our science program consists of courses that will prepare them for university-level classes that they will take in Merit’s High School Program.
Students new to Merit Academy may need time to adjust to the rigorous academic standards. These students should first take general education courses until they develop the foundation needed to excel in Merit’s more advanced courses.
