Free afterschool tutoring and multi-staffed homework centers are a blessing when the student needs a little extra attention. Communication between parent and teachers/admin is free-flowing and easy by phone or email. Its a comfort to now realize that we made the right choice in choosing Meyer Academy for our children's academic career. Read less

Meyer Academy has been a fantastic experience for my children. My 5th, 3rd, and 1st graders love going to school since we switched from a prominent local private school. My children, who I believe were bored at the previous school, were immediately challenged and have thrived. The school subdivides

The same holds true for a student who is not doing well. The best part of the school, after the experienced and quality teachers, is easily the administration. Our only reservation was the lack of a high school, but now the school has committed to a high school - with a 9th grade starting in 2008.
