Melrose School (Closed 2010)

The Melrose School provides an intellectual and moral focus that will not only prepare students for quality secondary and college programs but which will be a foundation for their adult lives.
Melrose is a Pre K-8, coeducational, day school that offers a challenging academic program to bright, motivated students.
We believe that excellence begins with high expectations, and we rely on an active collaboration among students, family, faculty and staff to achieve this.
We provide a caring and safe environment in which every child can explore new interests and develop socially, spiritually, artistically, and athletically, as well as academically.
Melrose is a nurturing community that promotes moral values and stresses respect for the individual.
