Posted by Valeria Galgano on Sunday, July 7, 2024

A small groundbreaking was held for Gem Prep, an upcoming charter school in south Meridian.

The school's purpose is to prepare students for success in college through personalized, rigorous education. The school will initially serve K-5 and then expand each year to end up serving K-12.

“The community is growing steadily, and everyone is excited for the opportunity of providing another high-quality education option for Meridian families," Said Stacey Walk, Gem Prep principal.

The Meridian location will be the fourth Gem Prep school opened in the Treasure Valley since 2016.

“Lottery registration will open in February for enrollment in grades K-5. We’ll begin hiring great teachers and support staff early in 2022, as well," Walker said.

More information can be found on the school's website.
