What is Triple A?

Triple A stands for The Arts, A la carte, and After School Program. As Meridian’s very own after school enrichment and childcare program, it's a fun and structured extension of a student's day at Meridian. Unlike many onsite after school programs, we manage it internally to offer a well-rounded experience that supports Meridian’s mission.
