Merrick Academy Charter School is a Candidate School for the Primary Years Programme. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education that Merrick Academy believes is important for our students. Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme, or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit www.ibo.org

Our Motto: All Children Can Learn
Join one of our group visits to discover what makes Merrick Academy special. Tailored to your child’s interests and stage in the admissions journey, our group tours are offered year-round for families from Kindergarten through 7th grade.
Selecting the ideal educational environment for your child is a significant and profound choice.
At Merrick Academy, education goes beyond textbooks and tests. Through our STEAM-focused curriculum and the International Baccalaureate framework, we nurture the whole child—building resilience, creativity, and global awareness both inside and outside the classroom. Our students engage in hands-on projects, inquiry-based learning, and real-world experiences that inspire curiosity and prepare them to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
We are committed to nurturing students’ intellectual growth through a rigorous, inquiry-based STEAM curriculum. Our approach fosters curiosity, autonomy, and confidence, preparing students for success both academically and personally. With a focus on critical thinking and problem-solving, we inspire each student to develop a strong sense of character and creativity.
At Merrick Academy, learning is an active, hands-on experience that goes beyond the classroom. Education isn’t static—students explore and discover everywhere they go. Our field trips are thoughtfully connected to classroom lessons, providing real-world opportunities to deepen understanding and bring learning to life beyond school walls.
