About Our School
Uplift Meridian Preparatory is part of Uplift Education, the largest charter school network in North Texas. Our beautiful campus is located in southeast Fort Worth and was built to allow more students to attend nearby, nationally-recognized Uplift Mighty for middle school and high school. Uplift Mighty is nationally recognized as one of the top high schools in the nation (students at Uplift Meridian will receive automatic admission to Uplift Mighty when moving from 5th to 6th grade). We are proud of our small school feel and tight-knit community of families. Schedule a tour to see for yourself how we are raising the expectations for education!

Academics at Uplift Meridian
We start with strong academics that tie lessons to real world situations. Then we cater the lessons to your child’s unique needs. Your child will be learning exactly what they are prepared to learn while being challenged to grow.
This school is authorized to offer the International Baccalaureate® (IB®) Primary Years Program (PYP) to every student. What is IB®? The IB® PYP programs help our youngest students thrive academically while also:
- Learning how the world works and their place in it.
- Understanding how to express themselves.
- Obtaining the skills to organize themselves and manage their time.
After 5th grade, Uplift students will progress to an Uplift middle and high school where they will continue with the IB® middle years and diploma programs.

Social and Emotional Learning
Our social and emotional learning programs are raising the bar for SEL in education. We understand the importance of creating an environment of stability, belonging, and safety for every scholar. At Uplift, students grow their social and emotional maturity thanks to:
- Daily lessons that help build character, empathy, and positive relationships.
- Frequent surveys that provide feedback to teachers and staff to identify emotional concerns with students.
- Licensed behavioral counselors on every campus.
Dual Language Program
This school is proud to offer a one-way dual language program for its Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade students. In our one-way dual language program, Spanish-speaking students acquire proficiency in two program languages, English and Spanish. A one-way program consists of scholars who are fluent in the partner language (Spanish) and qualify for language services.
Seats are limited and spots are offered after acceptance to an Uplift school offering dual language. Learn more about dual language programming.

This week's staff spotlight goes to the Specials Team! This week we are celebrating our amazing Specials Team — Coach Key, Mrs. Boyd, and Ms. Estrada! Every single day they make PE, Art, and Spanish engaging and fun for our scholars. Beyond leading their own classes, they step up in a big way to support our campus with morning carline, lunch duty, and PM dismissal. Each of them builds meaningful relationships with scholars that truly make a difference. They may not always be the loudest voices in the room (except Coach 😄), but their impact speaks volumes. Thank you for all that you do to support our scholars and our school community! 👏 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¡El equipo de Especialidades de esta semana es el destacado del personal! Esta semana celebramos a nuestro increíble Equipo de Especialidades: ¡el Entrenador Key, la Sra. Boyd y la Sra. Estrada! Cada día hacen que las clases de Educación Física, Arte y Español sean interesantes y divertidas para nuestros alumnos. Además de dirigir sus propias clases, se esfuerzan enormemente para apoyar a nuestro campus con la línea de transporte matutina, el servicio de almuerzo y la salida de la tarde. Cada uno de ellos construye relaciones significativas con los alumnos que realmente marcan la diferencia. Puede que no siempre sean las voces más fuertes (excepto el Entrenador 😄), pero su impacto es muy significativo. ¡Gracias por todo lo que hacen para apoyar a nuestros alumnos y a nuestra comunidad escolar! 👏
