1:1 iPad Pilot Program
We are excited to announce the iPad Pilot Program at Merritt Academy, where students are involved in real world applications and inquiry based investigation that fosters active learning. Students will gain digital literacy as they meet new opportunities from our teachers to better differentiate instruction and help enrich the learning experience across the curriculum.
Congratulations to our 2013 Chamber Stars
Congratulations to our Tysons Regional Chamber of Commerce/Youth & Education Committee Chamber Stars for 2013 – Kimrey Walls (8th grade), and Jenny Askildt (4th grade)! These students are being recognized for their diligent work this school year and their dedication to personal growth. They will be honored at an event at Barnes & Noble where the girls will select books for themselves as well as for our library. We are so proud of them!
