Merryhill School Arlington: A Tradition of Excellence in Education
Merryhill Preschool, Elementary, and Middle School in Arlington, Texas, provides a high-quality private education for families in Pantego, South Arlington, Mansfield, Kennedale, and Grand Prairie. Our school is dedicated to academic excellence, character development, and preparing students for future success.
A Strong Foundation in Preschool
Our preschool program offers a nurturing environment where young learners build essential academic and social-emotional skills through our Links to Learning curriculum. Hands-on activities in language and literacy, math, science, and creative expression help children develop a love for learning while preparing for kindergarten.
Innovative Elementary & Middle School Experience
In elementary and middle school, we combine a rigorous, standards-based curriculum with engaging experiences that promote critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership. Our technology-rich classrooms feature an iPad for each student in Kindergarten through 8th grade, enhancing learning and collaboration. Students also participate in STEM programs, service-learning projects, and specialty classes such as Spanish, art, music, and physical education.
Family Matters: A Community Like No Other
At Merryhill you find a generation of learners creating leaders of the future. There’s a reason we’ve educated children, their parents, and even their grandparents—we put family first. We involve families in academic events like STEAM nights, but we also create opportunities for them to have fun while giving back to the community. Our fundraisers bring the entire school together, reinforcing the idea that your family is our family. The love and support students receive at home continue into our school, making Merryhill Arlington a true community of learning and care.
Field Trips: Learning Beyond the Classroom
Field trips at Merryhill Arlington are designed to foster a student’s confidence, independence, and real-world understanding. As students grow, they participate in progressively longer, multi-day field trips where they are responsible for managing their own needs while engaging in hands-on learning.
Our field trips span Texas and beyond. Students have explored Waco, Galveston, San Antonio, Houston, and Austin, deepening their understanding of Texas history, science, and culture. Our sixth and seventh graders take their learning even further with trips to Washington D.C. and Philadelphia, where they tour Congress, visit famous landmarks, and even navigate the subway system. These experiences teach them about history, government, and independence in an unforgettable way.
Summer & Break Camps: Year-Round Fun and Learning
We understand that families need reliable and enriching childcare during summer and holiday breaks. That’s why our camp programs offer the perfect balance of exploration, discovery, friendship, and skill-building. Campers participate in sports, games, field trips, arts and crafts, science and nature activities, and more. Optional specialty programs allow children to explore new interests and develop lifelong friendships.
Before & After School Programs: Flexibility for Families
We offer extended hours year-round to accommodate parents' busy schedules. Our after-school programs provide enriching experiences, including sports, technology, dance, karate, art, and instrumental music. Whether your child needs a safe space to study or a chance to explore new interests, we provide a structured and supportive environment.
