What is Unique about our School?
“A student never fails it's the teachers who fail.”
Meridian School provides an invigorating educational environment that develops responsible citizens who can artfully navigate our complex world and enjoy a good life with others.
Each student engages in diverse investigations, disciplined inquiry, and integrated service-learning to cultivate intercultural awareness, creativity and mental acuity.
Teachers in Meridian incorporate instructional models like the 5Es Model into their classrooms which helps students build a strong foundation of knowledge through active participation.
Empowering Minds Through the 5Es Model
The 5E Model is based on the constructivist theory to learning, which suggests that people construct knowledge and meaning from experiences. By understanding and reflecting on activities, students are able to reconcile new knowledge with previous ideas. According to Meridians “Educational movements, such as inquiry-based learning, active learning, experiential learning, discovery learning, and knowledge building, are variations of constructivism.”
The 5 E method is a constructivist model of learning. It includes five stages: engage, explore, explain, extend, and evaluate.
Teaching in the Way the Child Learns
The theory of multiple intelligences (MI), conceived by Harvard University Professor Howard Gardner, has been used as a tool for teaching and learning at Meridian school Uppal. This unique academic learning approach develops a student's inherent strengths and creates a deep level of understanding that allows children to use what they’ve learned in new and different situations.
Meridian believes there are eight bits of intelligence to be nurtured and developed in all children: bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, linguistic, logical- mathematical, musical, naturalist, and spatial. These eight intelligences reflect different ways of thinking, solving problems, and learning: all activities that are intimately connected to the developing human brain.
