Founded in 1989, the school was established because the relocation of the private Waterford School from Provo, Utah, to Salt Lake City metropolitan area left a void in Utah County, Utah. In 2004, Meridian bought a 14-acre private park from Geneva Steel, planning to construct a school there, but the location lacked utilities, which stymied construction. In 2008, after 19 years at their first location, Meridian School moved to Orem, Utah, renting the building from Christ Evangelical Church.
The school closed in 2010 because of financial problems and declining enrollment. In 2011, the school reopened after undergoing a restructuring where it received financial backing from Align International Education Group, an international investing firm. The school signed an agreement with Beijing No.4 High School to share materials.
