Melrose is creating the next generation of kind, innovative, critical thinkers that this world needs! I feel very lucky to be among such supportive teachers, staff, parents, and kids! My kids are always asking questions and Melrose has nurtured and maintained an intense curiosity in them, which I appreciate! Close Quote

Tightly knit community where students are motivated to develop their unique talents. Students are the creators of digital content, rather than consumers. Teachers have high-expectations for students. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
