The Meridian STEM Academy, including pre-engineering and biomedical sciences, is open to sophomores, juniors and seniors. For all other programs, students may attend their junior or senior year. When space is available, sophomores can enroll for afternoon programs. Students attend either a morning or afternoon session. High school students living in the Meridian Technology Center district attend at no cost and should visit with their counselor about applying.

Adults

Adult students can chose from either the morning or afternoon session or attend all day, depending on program availability and their schedule.
