Address 2600 V St Sacramento, CA 95818 Phone (855) 657-1867 Hours M-F 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM Grades Pre-K — 8th Grade Before & After Care Summer Camp Explore Our Curriculum From the Head of School Rachel Kennedy Dear Future Parent, Thank you for your interest in Merryhill Elementary and Middle School in Midtown, Sacramento. Since 2013, our school has been committed to providing outstanding private education from Pre-K to 8th grade. Over the years, parents have praised our warm and enthusiastic teachers, our personalized approach to each child’s needs, and our rigorous curriculum. Our teachers bring our curriculum to life with creativity and sensitivity. They personalize their lessons to ensure that instruction is both stimulating and challenging, tailored to the learning style of each student. We believe that a complete education goes beyond core subjects. This is why we offer classes in art, music, technology/innovative studies, Spanish, and physical education. Our curriculum is founded on rich content that engages our students and fosters a love of learning. We also understand that students need more than academic knowledge to succeed. Field trips help our students make real-life connections with what they learn in the classroom. By visiting local resources such as KCRA News, Sacramento Zoo, 916 Ink, and more, students explore and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways. We believe that our students receive the best possible education when parents are actively involved. To support this, we offer many ways to stay in touch, including weekly e-newsletters, classroom web pages, and direct communication with teachers via email. Good communication among parents, teachers, and staff is a cornerstone of our school community. Please feel free to contact us to schedule a private tour so you and your child can experience Merryhill Midtown firsthand. I look forward to meeting you, understanding your child’s educational needs, and discussing how we can work together to meet them.
