Our Mission and Philosophy
At the Merrill Educational Center, we have remained committed to teaching children and adults not only the correct program to address their individual needs, but also in ways designed to foster academic clarity, confidence, and independence. We believe that all children and adults can and will learn, given the right instruction. We believe that learning is a powerful experience and that each student provides us with a rewarding and rare opportunity to assist or repair their academic esteem.
We believe in meeting a student where they are and using well-researched programs to provide each student with diverse methods and opportunities, by which to learn. We strongly assert that it "takes a village, " and we enjoy working in concert with other professionals in the private or academic sector, as well as parents, in order to provide maximum support to every individual we are blessed to work with.
As Lao-Tzu stated, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." We believe that every student has the potential to excel and achieve their academic goals, and we are dedicated to helping them every step of the way.
