Merivale High School is a public high school in the Borden Farm neighbourhood of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The school is known for its International Baccalaureate student program, but also runs French Immersion programs and visual art, music, and co-operative education programs.
Despite being designed for over two thousand students, Merivale High School's population fell to an all-time low of 650 students for the 2013–14 school year. This is attributed to changing neighbourhood demographics, as well as new schools in the subdivision of Barrhaven. It was announced in October 2016 that Merivale High School would add both grades 7 and 8 to increase student enrollment for the 2017–18 school year. With the addition of grade 7 and 8 students from various feeder schools, the student body increased to around 1200.
