Merryhill Preschool, Elementary, and Middle Schoolon Durango Drive in Las Vegas provides a comprehensive, high-quality education for students from preschool-8th grade. Our school is dedicated to fostering academic excellence, character development, and a love of learning in a nurturing environment.
A Strong Foundation in Early Education
Our preschool campus offers a warm, engaging setting where young children develop a strong foundation for future success. Using our Links to Learning curriculum, we help students explore, discover, and grow through hands-on activities that promote cognitive, social, and emotional development. Our experienced teachers create a welcoming space where children feel safe to express themselves, build friendships, and develop a love for learning that carries through their entire academic journey.
Elementary & Middle School: Personalized Learning
At our elementary and middle school campus, we provide a challenging and well-rounded curriculum designed to meet the needs of each student. Core subjects such as math, science, language arts, and social studies are complemented by enrichment programs in Spanish, technology, music, art, and physical education. Small class sizes and personalized instruction allow our teachers to identify each student’s strengths and areas for growth, ensuring they receive the support needed to thrive.
One of the unique aspects of Merryhill Durango’s educational approach is our “I Hope…” Individualized Learning Program. We believe that students achieve their best when they take an active role in their education. At the beginning of each school year, students meet one-on-one with teachers to set personal academic and social goals. Whether they aspire to improve test scores, advance in reading levels, or develop leadership skills, students create personalized action plans that guide their learning journey. By setting and working toward their own goals, students gain confidence, resilience, and the motivation to strive for success.
Building Character and Community
In addition to academic growth, we emphasize character development. Our students learn the importance of responsibility, respect, integrity, and kindness through daily interactions, school-wide initiatives, and leadership opportunities. We encourage students to take part in community service projects and collaborative activities that instill empathy and a strong sense of social responsibility.
Making a Splash with Our On-Campus Pool
One of the most exciting features at Merryhill Durango is our on-campus swimming pool, available from March through October. Our swim club and swim lessons provide students with a great opportunity to build confidence in the water, develop essential swimming skills, and stay active in a fun and structured way. In a city where natural lakes are scarce, our pool serves as a refreshing retreat where students can enjoy movement, strengthen friendships, and have fun.
More Than a School
At Merryhill Durango, we are more than just a school; we are a close-knit community where students, teachers, and families come together to support one another. Through engaging academics, enriching extracurricular activities, and a focus on personal growth, we prepare students not only for high school but for a lifetime of success.
