Merryhill Summerlin Elementary
Our elementary program is designed to challenge and inspire students through a technology-rich curriculum that includes core subjects, STEM education, and specialty classes in Spanish, art, music, technology, and physical education. Students engage in hands-on learning, personalized instruction, and interactive projects that promote critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving.
FIERCE: Developing Confident and Compassionate Leaders
At Merryhill Summerlin, our students don’t just learn—they lead. We instill FIERCE values in every student, encouraging them to be:
- Fearless in socialization and trying new things

These trips foster independence, curiosity, and a love for discovery while strengthening our students’ understanding of the world.
A Community That Feels Like Family
At Merryhill Summerlin, we believe that education extends beyond academics—it’s about building a community. Families are invited to participate in a variety of school-wide events, such as our Trunk or Treat, holiday celebrations, tech challenges, spelling bees, and carnivals. These events create meaningful connections between students, parents, and educators, making Merryhill not just a school, but a family.
