Meridan State College is a co-educational state school which opened in January 2006. By 2012 it will cater for students from Prep to Year 12. The College currently provides a quality education for students from Prep to Year 6 in Junior School, Year 7 to 9 in Middle School and Year 10 in the Senior School, which will include Year 11 in 2011 and Year 12 in 2012. The Prep to Year 12 structure significantly enhances educational outcomes for students while facilitating the seamless transition through the different phases of learning.

Students are provided with a variety of curriculum offerings presented in exciting and meaningful ways utilising real life experiences, contemporary resources and technology.
