TEDxMeritAcademy

Merit Academy is a unique private school that offers all classes one-on-one with curriculum designed to intrigue, inspire, and innovate. With individualized accelerated curriculum, our students advance quickly and develop strong academic skills. All students engage in one long-term project that builds commitment and leadership, and ultimately becomes the cornerstone of their college applications. Many of our TEDx speakers have developed exciting programs doing ProjectMERIT to solve problems that our government and corporations have not.
