Mission and Philosophy
We believe in kids.
Miriam School and Learning Center empowers unique learners by building confidence and a foundation for success.
Miriam is the premier educational hub for children with learning differences in the St. Louis area. We empower unique learners by building confidence and a foundation for success at our K-12 school, as well as through our outreach programs. Miriam takes students and their families on a journey to see how their differences can actually be gifts. Our students’ challenges often include specific learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, speech/language disorders, anxiety and sensory processing differences.
