My child just graduated from Merryhill (MH) this past June. They attended K through 8th grade. Enrolling at MH was, without exception, the best decision we made. From day 1, our child was supported. When he went through some emotional struggles, he met with the counselor for support. The field trips are wonderful and very enriching - he loved all of the overnights that began in 4th grade (SF Aquarium, Submarine overnight, Gold Country, Washington DC, Ashland Oregon for theater, Disneyland, and so much more). The COVID response was exceptional - providing in-person school so that the students did not fall behind. My kid is prepared for high school and excited about learning. Never did I think homework was excessive (in fact, most years, my son finished homework at school and rarely brought any home). Having homework support at school was great - especially when he needed more support in mathematics. During K-5th grade there was terrific afterschool programming and clubs - my son tried yoga, science club, chess club, various sports, and more. I encourage any parent reading this to visit the school. The campus population is very diverse, which is a huge plus for us. It made for a very enriching K-8 experience. Thank you.
