Choosing the right private Kindergarten environment for your child can be a formidable task as well as an emotional choice parents make to begin their child’s formal educational journey. At The Merit School, we have a platform that allows each child to be immersed in a positive and enriching environment. This positive space promotes a confident child self-image, encourages independence, and sets a specific educational path to meet academic goals based on the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLS).
Our Kindergarten Curriculum
Our Kindergarten Curriculum places a heavy emphasis on reading and writing as well as incorporating math, science, social studies, and critical thinking skills. Interactive lessons are implemented through our promethean board, hands-on activities, and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math). Our programs welcome the natural learning processes of children and incorporates teaching methods that recognize and respect the way children learn best.
Throughout the year we partner with families during events, activities, conferences, and hands on projects. The Merit Schools are proud to be Cognia Accredited and part of the Virginia Council of Private Education (VCPE). This accreditation is forward-thinking and laser-focused on improving educational opportunities for learners and helps strengthen the schools’ continuous approach to learning.
The Merit School will embed a sense of Knowledge, Character and Achievement in your child’s educational blueprint. This blueprint will set a strong foundation for your child’s formal educational journey. Join us today and be a part of an educational family that teaches children to be confident, independent and to always DREAM BIG.
