Education is more than instruction—it's orientation. At Meridian Charter School, we help students develop the clarity and confidence to navigate an increasingly complex world.
A modern public charter school where students develop clarity, purpose, and intellectual independence.
Learning With Direction
Meridian serves 400 students in grades 6-12 at our Portland campus. We are a tuition-free public charter school open to all students through an equitable lottery system.
Our approach combines intellectual rigor with context and reflection. Students don't just absorb information—they learn to question it, connect it, and apply it to the challenges that matter to them and their communities.
Our Values
Our approach combines intellectual rigor with context and reflection. Students don't just absorb information—they learn to question it, connect it, and apply it to the challenges that matter to them and their communities.
Clarity Over Noise
We cut through the overwhelm. Students learn to distinguish signal from noise, to focus on what's essential, and to communicate with precision.
