A Little About Us
Merriam School is one of the six elementary schools serving the Acton and Boxborough communities. Located in the main campus at 11 Charter Road, we share the Parker Damon building with the McCarthy-Towne Elementary School. Merriam offers a project-based curriculum. At Merriam, teachers loop with and teach the same group of students for two years (that is, a teacher will teach first grade one year, second grade the next and then wrap back to first). Merriam's philosophical foundations make Merriam a special school.
