Placing Values Back Into The Hands of Education
Education is the science of teaching and learning, and every student differs and must be challenged to work to his/her greatest capacity. Each student will be regarded as a separate and important individual and will be made to feel that he/she is progressing. Students will be given the opportunity to grow at their own rate and in their own individual way. They will be guided firmly, but with kindness and impartiality. Merit Academy provides activities that develop skills which enable each student to achieve scholastically to his/her greatest potential and to provide an opportunity for each student to use his/her special talents.
Merit Academy's mission is to provide the quality of a private school setting and curriculum to the public. Through education, we will have students gain the skills, strategies, and desire necessary for continued learning; developing a strong sense of responsibility for themselves, toward each other, and toward their community. A rich multicultural environment for learning will be created, along with an integrated curriculum with mathematics, science and arts components. We want to provide the type of quality education for children to become self-directed learners; and share their enthusiasm for learning, in an atmosphere of mutual respect and appreciation.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. - Nelson Mandela
All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us. This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one's brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon. - Roger Bacon

Science investigates religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power religion gives man wisdom which is control. - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time. - Thomas Merton

Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. - Pope John Paul II
