About This Cause
Established 2011, Meridian is a public, tuition-free charter school funded through state and federal dollars like traditional schools. Open to all students who live within the boundaries of Williamson County in Central Texas, Meridian is the vehicle realized by several Williamson County families that worked together with the goal of offering an education that will bring a love of learning to the classroom for their children and yours. Located in Round Rock, Texas, USA, on I-35 (just south of Harley Davidson), Meridian School serves all students living in Williamson County. As a charter school, Meridian is a school of 'choice' offering an inquiry-based curriculum for grades K-11 in school year 2014-2015. Meridian will add a grade every year until it is a K-12 school. The programme encourages students to become: INQUIRERS—their natural curiosity has been nurtured and they actively enjoy learning THINKERS—they exercise initiative in applying thinking skills critically and creatively to solving complex problems COMMUNICATORS—they receive and express ideas and information confidently in more than one language RISK-TAKERS—they approach unfamiliar situations without anxiety and have the confidence to explore new ideas KNOWLEDGEABLE—they have explored themes that have global significance and have acquired a critical mass of knowledge PRINCIPLED—they have a sound grasp of the principles of moral reasoning and have acquired integrity, honesty and a sense of justice CARING—they show sensitivity towards the needs and feelings of others, and have a sense of personal commitment to helping others OPEN-MINDED—they respect the values of other individuals and cultures and seek to consider a range of points of view WELL-BALANCED—they understand the importance of physical and mental balance and personal well-being REFLECTIVE—they give thoughtful consideration to their own learning by constructively analysing their personal strengths and weaknesses.
