ABOUT MERIDIAN
Meridian is a PreK-8th grade school located in Washington DC's vibrant U Street Corridor.

Our mission is to inspire a passion for learning in our students and to help them build their self-confidence and self-respect through academic achievement.

Our 650+ students are a diverse mix of African-American, Latino, Asian, African, and White students.

Almost 30% of our students are English language learners, and we have one of the largest Hispanic populations in DC charter schools.

We are committed to building a community of teachers and staff who reflect the rich diversity of our student body.

Our middle school campus serves nearly 200 students in the Columbia Heights neighborhood in grades 6-8.


Meridian is committed to serving families from our local communities; and one-third of our students live within a half mile of the school.

The U Street Corridor was once the heart of black culture in DC and offers a tangible historical archive for our students, and Columbia Heights is one of the most racially and economically diverse neighborhoods in the District.

We are also proud of the fact that Meridian is a school of choice for parents— all eight wards of the city are represented among our student population.


Meridian's strengths include two beautiful and historic campuses, with nearby outdoor and recreational grounds; state of the art technology for students and teachers; updated and aligned curricula; an academic program laser-focused on student growth, achievement, and social-emotional development; extensive professional development and support for teachers and leaders; and a school culture grounded in student achievement, collaboration, and student-centered learning.
