The school has taken swift initiative to reduce bullying and discourage disruptive behavior. In 2023 they secured a grant to offer clubs to students in a variety of specialties (yoga, chess, robotics, photography, cheer, hydroponics etc) these clubs allow students to attend after school programs keeping them engaged and busy! If you are looking to join a school that is growing, and will collaborate with you to develop your child. I highly recommend IACS, they match your effort and are a school to watch over the next serval years (as big developments come to fruition). If you are looking for an "alternate" school due to behavioral issues, suspension, etc. this is not the place for that, UNLESS you are ready to put in the work of getting your student back on track. The best alternative school in Canyon County is Elevate if that is a good fit for your students at this time.

We were so excited that my daughter was able to get her little 5K boy into Sage. It works so well…read morefor their schedules and even offers extended-day for working parents. This keeps them from having to send in the am to a daycare, have him transported to school, picked up by the daycare at school and transported back. E-Sage has been fun for him and he has learned so much from their programs. We have liked both his 5k and his 1st grade teachers and he is happy and learning. Couldn't ask for more. I also like the top stop of the classroom sizes.

Sage High School is an authorized IB (International Baccalaureate Program) World School and offers…read morethe IB Diploma Program (DP). I originally became interested in Sage because my daughter left 6th grade at Christine Donnell School of the Arts (a charter school in Meridian Joint District 2) and entered Lake Hazel Middle School as a 7th grader. Lake Hazel is so overcrowded that I felt that the curriculum wasn't being taught very efficiently - my daughter wasn't being challenged. In addition to that issue, the overcrowding was obnoxious to the point of severe frustration and anger. (But that's a whole different review). So, Sage attracted my attention because of the small class sizes and challenging curriculum. It has been wonderful! Sage is a school where a student can really push his or herself. My daughter is in 8th grade, but most of her classes are combined with 9th graders, and she's in 10th grade advance math. Not to brag, but it's nice to have the option of moving ahead if you're smart enough. By staying challenged and pushing herself, I know that she's not getting into trouble. In addition, Sage doesn't have a gym. instead they go out into the community for Urban PE. The also don't have a library, but instead take walking field trips as often as needed to the city library (conveniently located in their neighborhood). This has helped my somewhat shy daughter become more comfortable in an urban (yes, I know it's not Seattle or LA) environment. I did take off one star because they don't offer traditional sports programs. My daughter plays soccer and runs cross country, but Sage doesn't get out until after 4pm (they have longer hours, but then no school on Friday's). Because of their longer hours, my daughter can't even participate in sports at another school - she can't get there early enough for practices or games/meets. There are work arounds of course. She has been able to play soccer in a community league and Sage has implemented a lunch time running club. I also took off a star because Sage only offers French. I feel like the reality is that we live in a country where a huge percentage of the population speaks Spanish and it should at least be an option. The work around has been to take Spanish during school hours with the IDLA system. It's not ideal. She is an advanced Spanish student and was forced to take beginning Spanish this year, as you have to start IDLA at the beginning, but at least its something. Sage also has an Elementary/Middle school. It's at a different location, on Parkcenter Blvd. They just opened the new campus this years, having taken over the old Parkcenter Mall location.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about La Petite Academy on Linder! Our 7-month-old daughter…read morehas been attending for the past 4 months, and the experience has been exceptional from day one. As parents, leaving your infant in someone else's care can be daunting, but Ms. Paryz, Ms. Kelsey, and Ms. Brandy in the Infant 1 classroom have made the transition so smooth and reassuring. Emiko absolutely adores all three of her teachers, and it lights up our hearts to see how excited and comfortable she is around them. They do the absolute best art projects with the babies--it's amazing to see the creative keepsake activities they manage to put together for such young little ones! The care, communication, and warmth from the entire staff give us complete peace of mind every single day. We are so grateful to have found such a loving environment for Emiko and highly recommend this school to any family looking for top-notch childcare in Meridian.

We moved my son's daycare after only a week at his first one, after we picked him up swollen and bleeding with no indication or resolution to what happened. Kristi helped expedite the enrollment process so we could get him started within just a week of our tour. Since the first day we dropped him off, it was a night and day difference in care and his demeanor. He's excited in the mornings when I drop him off and he's happy when I go to pick him up. When I check the cameras, he's smiling and laughing and engaging in enriching activities. The employees here seem like they genuinely enjoy what they do, and truly care about the children. For a 6mo, the relationship with an alternate caregiver is so important for their development, and I can tell my son really loves these girls and has bonded with them. I'm grateful to have him here starting in their infant class because he'll be able to grow with the school and the teachers and directors who have known him from the beginning. I feel like I can actually be productive at work because I know my son is being taken care of well :)
