From the Head of School Maria Zaccheo Dear Parent, Merryhill Elementary and Middle School on Durango Drive in Las Vegas has provided outstanding private kindergarten through 8th grade education since 1998. Our parents love our warm and enthusiastic teachers, our understanding of the needs of each child, and our rigorous, standards-based curriculum. Our teachers are passionate and dedicated. They bring learning to life. They personalize lessons to make sure that they are challenging for each student. We believe that beyond the core subjects, classes in art, music, technology, Spanish, and physical education are essential. Rich and challenging content is the foundation of our curriculum. However, children need more than academics to achieve future success. Field trips enable them to make connections to lessons learned in the classroom. We visit places such as Anderson Dairy, Springs Preserve, Smith Center, and the Natural History Museum. Students receive the best education when parents are involved. We offer many ways for parents to stay in touch. This includes school newsletters, classroom webpages, and teacher email. We are proud to say that communication among parents, teachers, and staff is a way of life at our school. Please feel free to contact me to schedule a private tour. I look forward to meeting with you! We can’t wait to learn more about your child’s educational needs and discuss how we can work together to reach them.
