At Merryhill Milpitas, our private school stands out for its exceptional academics, personalized learning, and strong partnerships between parents, teachers, students, and staff. We focus on providing a well-rounded education that addresses both academic excellence and the development of important life skills, ensuring that every student is equipped for success.
Our Core Curriculum is designed to engage and challenge students with exciting, technology-rich content across subjects such as language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, foreign language, and the arts. We use the latest educational resources to create a stimulating learning environment that not only meets but exceeds 21st-century standards. Whether it's exploring new technologies in science class or enhancing writing skills in language arts, our curriculum is built to prepare students for the future.
In addition to our rigorous academic program, we embrace Personalized Learning for each student. Through the use of individual learning plans, we set annual academic and personal goals, focusing on areas such as career readiness and life skills. Students’ progress is tracked collaboratively by teachers, students, and parents, ensuring that we address each child’s unique needs and abilities. This approach fosters a sense of ownership in students as they set and achieve their goals.
Our commitment to 21st Century Skills is embedded in our teaching practices. We emphasize communication, collaboration, and creativity, skills that are essential for success in today’s ever-changing world. Our students are encouraged to think critically, solve problems, and collaborate effectively with their peers through interactive lessons and projects.
Beginning in Kindergarten, our students engage with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education. Hands-on STEM projects allow students to make decisions, think innovatively, and develop problem-solving abilities in a fun and meaningful way. This early introduction to STEM helps to foster a passion for these subjects that will serve students well throughout their educational journey.
At Merryhill Milpitas, we also believe in the importance of giving back to the community, which is why we integrate Service Learning into our curriculum. Through our service projects, students actively engage with the local community, applying what they’ve learned to help others. This hands-on approach to service learning allows students to see how their education connects with the real world and builds a sense of responsibility and empathy.
We offer a wide range of Specialty Classes that contribute to a well-rounded education. Students participate in Spanish, Art, Music, Physical Education, and Technology classes, which enrich their learning experience and help them develop a variety of skills. Our Physical Education program emphasizes wellness and fitness, while Music and Art encourage creative expression and problem-solving. Spanish provides students with the opportunity to develop language skills that are increasingly valuable in our global society.
Through this combination of rigorous academics, personalized learning, and a focus on the development of essential life skills, Merryhill Milpitas prepares students for success in school and beyond. Our curriculum is designed to challenge, engage, and inspire every student to reach their full potential.
